The Ecuadorian Anti-drug Police said on Tuesday that the 8.3 tons of cocaine they seized last week belonged to the rebel Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). They said the drugs were intended to be sent to the United States with the help of a Mexican drug cartel. 'Only FARC has the capacity to produce that much of cocaine in the region. It would need 8,000 hectares of coca leaves to produce the drugs,' a police officer said. Ecuador and Colombia share almost 700 km of border. Colombian drug traffickers have used Ecuador as a springboard to ship drugs to the United States and Europe.
