Colombia seizes six metric tons of cocaine from ELN rebels

Colombia’s military has seized six metric tons of cocaine from guerrillas of the leftist National Liberation Army (ELN) in a jungle region in the southeast of the country, Defense Minister Diego Molano said, writes Reuters.

The cocaine was seized in an operation in the rural municipality of Samaniego in Colombia’s Narino province, close to the Pacific coast.

“This strike is to the detriment of the finances of this group”, - Molano said, adding that the drugs were seized from a complex that supplies the ELN with monthly profits worth USD 8 million.
