Explosivos

The Colombian navy found 98 grenades of various calibers allegedly belonging to the guerilla group the FARC in the southwestern department of Nariño, reported radio station Santa Fe on Tuesday.

According to the navy, the weapons stash was discovered after a river patrol unit intercepted two FARC guerrillas who were travelling on a small boat in a local river near the Pacific town of Tumaco.

The alleged FARC members fled the scene by foot and left the boat and the war material behind them, the navy reported.

In addition to the grenades, two army uniforms and 63 7.62mm bullets were found.

The weapons stash allegedly belonged to the FARC’s mobile column “Daniel Aldana,” considered to be active in much of the Pacific part of the Nariño department.
