Colombia finds a ton of explosives in the border with Venezuela

The Colombian army found over a ton of explosives that alleged guerrilla members of the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) were hiding in a location near Puerto Inírida, a town in the border with Venezuela, military sources reported.

The material found was pentolite, which is an "explosive with high destructive capacity," said the regional division of the Army that is stationed in the area with infantry troops of the jungle brigade, EFE reported.

The military source said that the explosives, weighing 1,010 kilos, were found Tuesday in San Felipe, a rural village of Puerto Inírida, the capital of the department of Guainía.

The finding was made during a military operation against the 16th Front of the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces.

Don't forget,, every Colombian knows,, Chavez supports the FARC and ELN.

Think about it,,, The United States,, chummy,, President gives Chavez a hand job,, what kind of crap was that ?

Clueless on FTA and Clueless on Colombia,, the current administration in the U.S. has their head so far up the Unions ass that no oxygen will make it to their brains to stave off ultimate brain death.

Maybe I need to look up some videos ?
