BBC Senior worldwide correspondent Orla Guerin joins specialist police on a mission over Colombia’s cocaine heartland, tasked with destroying crude cocaine labs hidden deep within the jungle.
The Jungle Commandos, a police unit armed by america and initially skilled by Britain’s SAS, have been on the lookout for the labs that are little greater than shacks with drums of chemical substances and recent coca leaves, able to be changed into a paste.
Main Cristhian Cedano Díaz, a 16-year veteran of the warfare on medication, instructed the BBC a cocaine lab might be rebuild shortly, “in simply someday”.
Colombia has been criticised by US President Trump for not doing sufficient to fight the medication commerce, although Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro claims that his authorities has seized the most important quantity of medication in historical past.
