JAMAICA: Arms Headed for Colombian Insurgents Seized
Jamaican authorities last week seized a
shipment of 1,000 automatic rifles, 250 machineguns, and 10 mortars
after learning that the Colombian end-user certificate for the arms
was forged. The weapons arrived from Portugal on the Copacabana,
a Panamanian ship probably owned by a British arms dealer, and
were about to be flown to Colombia.
Comment:
The incident suggests
that the FARC, which earns millions of dollars by taxing or controlling
illicit drug production in parts of Colombia, has learned that it can get
larger quantities of well-made military ordnance on the international
gray arms market than it can locally within Colombia
