Colombian Soldiers found a cache of explosives belonging to the 48th Front of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebel group in Putumayo, a jungle province in southern Colombia near the border with Ecuador, the army said. Military explosives specialists deactivated dozens of landmines, explosives, and grenades at a site near the city of San Miguel, located about 700 kilometers from Bogota. The seizure comes after the FARC set off a bomb on February 3rd outside a police station in the Pacific town of Tumaco, killing 11 people. The FARC was established in 1964 by the Colombian Communist Party. It is organized along military lines and includes several units that operate mostly in key urban areas such as Bogota. In 2003, the FARC conducted several high profile terrorist attacks, including a February car bombing of a Bogota nightclub that killed more than 30 people.
