Panama Vows To Defend Border Area Following Clash
The Associated Press

PANAMA  - The government of Panama says it will defend its territory following the wounding of a police officer during a clash between Panamanian police and armed men along the border with Colombia.

The Foreign Ministry says the government will not allow any part of Panama to be used by groups for drug trafficking or other illicit activities.

Sunday's statement does not identify the group that attacked a government patrol boat Saturday. But the wording suggests they may have been related to Colombian cocaine traffickers or rebels who participate in the trade.

A similar border clash in January resulted in the deaths of three Colombian rebels.
