Colombia’s FARC rebels criticised authorities for seeking to implicate the guerrillas in drug trafficking.
‘We of the FARC are revolutionaries, not drug traffickers,’ the high command of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia’s Western Bloc said in a statement posted on the Internet.
‘It has become an inveterate custom of senior military and police officers, in the face of their inability - or complicity - to put an end to the phenomenon of drug trafficking, to rush to declare without foundation or evidence that every ... cargo of coca, coca paste or marijuana belongs to the FARC,’ the insurgents said.
