Colombian soldiers discovered four tonnes of cocaine in a drug lab hidden deep in the jungle of the southwestern region of Cauca, authorities said on Saturday (March 16).
Officials said the laboratory and drugs belonged to the eastern division of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and financed five fronts of the rebel troops.
The lab lies close to the country's Pacific coast and, according to authorities, the cocaine, which has a U.S. street value of 90 million dollars, was headed to Central America, Mexico and the United States.
The FARC has financed its 5-decades long war against the Colombian government with drug trafficking, arms trafficking and kidnapping.
