BOGOTA, Colombia Colombia's navy seized a 65-foot submarine that likely was used to haul tons of cocaine on part of its journey to the United States, officials said.
No drugs were found or arrests made when the fiberglass submarine was discovered in a swampy mangrove about six miles off the northernmost point of Colombia's Caribbean coast.
The diesel-powered vessel had sophisticated communications systems and was capable of carrying up to 11 tons of cocaine, Rear Admiral Roberto Garcia Marquez, head of the navy's Caribbean fleet, said on Aug. 7.
