Army seizes ‘ELN’ weapons in west Colombia

The Colombian army has seized an arms stash allegedly belonging to guerrilla group ELN in the southwestern department of Nariño, El Pais reported on Tuesday.

The army battalion, working with the Technical Investigation Team (CTI) from the Prosecutor General’s Office, found the weapons thanks to information passed to them by a network of informants, according to the authorities.

Soldiers and canine units found the cache of 11 grenades and 1,260 rounds of ammunition buried underneath a bush in the rural sector of the municipality of La Union.

Authorities claim the weapons belonged to the Camilo Cien Fuegos Company of the ELN.
