 The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC} used catapults to Iaunch
crude acid bombs at Colombian police forces in Puerto Lleras on 10 July, accord-
ing to press reporting. The bombs reportedly consisted of modifed household
propane tanks filled with explosives and sulfuric acid.
? The sulfuric acid, a highly corrosive industrial chemical, burned the arm and face
The FARC has employed propane gas cylinders as mortar tubes and projectiles
with some success since 1998. Ff true, the addition of a hazardous chemical compo-
nent would add a new dimension to the FARC's weapons capability.
? Since sulfuric acid is used in cocaine refining, the FARC probably can acquire
the material from drug processors in its area of control.
? The FARC also may try to leverage the dru 'chemical expertise to
devise other attack methods and substances~~~
