Colombia Arrests Ecuadorian Carrying Explosives For Guerrilla

BOGOTA - The Colombian police have captured an Ecuadorian citizen along the Colombia-Ecuador border who was trying to deliver explosives to Colombia's guerrilla of the Army of National Liberation (ELN).

The police said Wednesday that the Ecuadorian, Antonio Pena, was carrying 25 kg of pentolita explosives when he was arrested in Tuquerres in the Narino department in southwest Colombia.

The Colombian authorities have captured several Ecuadorians with explosives in the past for illegal armed groups which operate in Narino.

The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and other paramilitary groups and drug traffickers operate in Narino as well.

Colombia and Ecuador severed diplomatic ties in March 2008 after a raid carried out by the Colombian army on a FARC camp in Ecuadorian territory. Ecuador condemned the move as a violation to its territorial sovereignty.
