Bogota, Mar 17 (EFE).- Army troops destroyed "the largest drug storage center" operated by the FARC guerrilla group in southwestern Colombia and seized four tons of cocaine bound for Central America and the United States, special counternarcotics brigade commander Col. Jorge Mora told Efe. The anti-drug operation was conducted last Tuesday in a remote area outside Zanjal, a hamlet in Cauca province, Mora said. Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, guerrillas attacked soldiers from the special brigade outside the complex, Mora told Efe by telephone.

Two soldiers were killed and two children injured in a blast in northwestern Colombia, authorities said Monday, blaming leftist FARC rebels for the attack. A device exploded Sunday in a rural area of the San Andres de Cuerquia municipality, "triggered remotely by a cell phone," said the town mayor Oscar Sepulveda. The two children "aged 4 and 11 are in grave condition," he added, saying authorities were in pursuit of guerrillas from the FARC's Front 36, believed to be behind the attack.
