The Colombian government seized from the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) anti-tank weapons bought by Venezuela from an European country, reported on Monday Colombian Vice-President Francisco Santos, after Colombian President Álvaro Uribe claimed that the guerrillas bought rocket-launchers abroad.

"In several operations in which we have recovered weapons from the FARC, we have found powerful ammunition (and) powerful equipment, including anti-tank weapons which a European country sold to Venezuela and which turned up in the hands of the FARC," Santos told Colombia's Caracol radio, without giving the name of the European nation.

Last Sunday, Uribe claimed that the FARC "had obtained trademark rocket-launchers on international arms markets, in the international community," and that his government had "lodged a complaint through diplomatic channels with the appropriate countries," AFP quoted.
