Colombia rebels, Qaeda in "unholy" drug allianceUS says Qaeda funded by Colombian cocaine

Interdiction efforts have made it more difficult to send cocaine straight from Colombia and other Andean producer nations to the United States and Europe.

So criminal organizations including the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, are going through Africa to access the European market. And they are doing it with the help of al-Qaeda and other groups branded terrorists by Washington, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

If anyone watched NCIS last night - their storyline was in line with outr thinking that the mooselimbs are coming across the border with the illegals. I was glad to see some in Hollyweird do not toe the company line of idiocy and ostrich like symptoms which also includes complete stupidity.
