The Colombian army claims it seized two tons of explosives in the north of the Antioquia department. The explosives allegedly belong to the FARC.
According to the army, the explosives were found near the town of San Francisco and later detonated to be destroyed.
Aside from the explosives, the Army, together with investigators of the Prosecutor General’s Office, found “other elements” belonging to the FARC.
“The material was to be used to carry out attacks against the security forces, the civilian population and to produce more than 3,000 anti personel mines.”
The army says that it seized nine tons of explosives and 808 bombs and mines.
