| (Xinhua) -- The Colombian police seized weapons that allegedly belonged to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in a house in southern Bogota, local media reported Tuesday. General Francisco Patino, metropolitan police chief, told Caracol TV that police raided the house early Tuesday morning after they were tipped by a phone call in Bosa district. Police found explosives and weapons in the house, including nine grenades, two mortars, a large amount of cartridges of different caliber, a cannon and other materials. "There are no detainees, but we have really good information, there are useful documents that we found, which will allow us to continue the investigation," Patino said. The FARC, Colombia's largest rebel group, has been fighting for 40 years to overthrow the government. |
