Colombian military battalion found more than 1,350 pounds of cocaine in a jungle laboratory located in the border zone between southern Colombia and Ecuador.
According to local military sources, the cocaine plant is an alleged front for FARC guerrillas in Colombia.
The cocaine refinement lab was found in Llorente, a rural area of Tumaco, that serves as a port to the Pacific Ocean through the neighboring department of Nariño, according to a communication issued in Bogota.
The source also indicated that within the lab they also found “materials and chemicals for processing the cocaine, maintenance supplies, explosives, and arms.”
They also suspect that the ownership of the laboratory was fronted by “Daniel Aldana” of the FARC guerrilla group.
