Colombian army seizes huge cache of explosives


The Colombian Army says it seized a huge cache of explosives belonging to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in southwestern part of the country. 

Soldiers found 432 grenades of different types in a FARC hideout in Paez Belalcazar City in the Cauca department, the army said in a statement Saturday.

“These (grenades) were dangerous war material and could have been used against the civilian population and troops in the area,” it said.

Founded in 1964, the FARC is Colombia’s largest leftist guerrilla group with an estimated 17,000 fighters that operates across a vast swath of this Andean nation.

I am a Shadow, not a terrorist unless you ask what the art is and if you do I will tell you that I know the art well. A member of the CIA once said that it is nothing that cant be taught, (or isnt taught, whichever term that you used), in the average martial arts school. I am legal and there is a law suit that I am pursuing it is here with me and I'm obviously not in the dark. Permission is simply a formality, making, breaking news in our world takes talent.

It's a cashe but not a huge one for FARC. I love you guys and I'm right here. I sent Colombia the best that I had for the moment in time that they needed him for. Welcome home.

...somebody has to talk, nothing was ever resolved by cornering a deadly animal, they only bite back. As it turns out that it not an animal but an unattended member. They are mine because I dont fear them. Vegetables will do.
