A vessel flying the Chinese flag has been detained by Colombian officials after it was discovered filled with high caliber weapons and other “weapons of war” that seem to be headed for the terrorist group FARC.
Apparently the Chinese are now moving to arm the terrorists of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).
A mysterious vessel flying the Chinese flag has left a port in Cartagena, Colombia, after being stopped by local officials for carrying large amounts of undocumented, large-caliber firearms, en route to Cuba– where Colombia is currently staging talks with the terrorist group FARC.
Colombian newspaper El Universal notes that the ship appeared in a Cartagena port Sunday night and appeared to have documentation for all the cargo aboard. Its itinerary included a stop in Cartagena to deliver a shipment of tubes for a petroleum company in Cartagena as well as a stop in another Colombian coastal city, Barranquilla, and a final stop in Havana.
Colombian newspaper El Tiempo cites a source stating that the ship appeared to have a commercial shipment for Cuba. As a source tells El Universal, however, authorities inspecting the ship found a high number of munitions for heavy weapons, as well as gunpowder, long-range weapons, “and other weapons of war.” The ship’s paperwork made no indication that weapons were aboard as cargo; Colombian authorities only found the weapons through a routine narcotics inspection.
What other terror groups are the Chinese arming? Beside Iran and North Korea, I mean.
This is just one more bad thing going on in the world that Obama is ignoring while he worries about “global warming.”
