> BOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) - In meetings with U.S. officials, the chief of
> Colombia's anti-narcotics force proposed tripling the number of jungle bases
> used to launch offensives against cocaine, Colombian officials said on
> Thursday.
>
> Gen. Gustavo Socha Salamanca made the proposal during an ongoing, five-day
> visit to Washington where he met with State Department officials and members
> of Congress, the anti-narcotics police said in a statement.
>
> The statement did not say how much the bases would cost.
>
> Colombia currently has two anti-narcotics bases, both located in the
> country's drug-producing south. The bases are used to quickly deploy troops
> and launch planes to spray herbicides on crops of coca -- the raw ingredient
> in cocaine.
>
> Washington is pouring $1 billion into President Andres Pastrana's Plan
> Colombia anti-drug offensive, with most of the aid used to train Socha's
> troops and provide them with advanced military hardware at the jungle bases.
>
> U.S. officials say Plan Colombia has yet to affect cocaine prices since its
> launch last year. Colombian and U.S. officials hope the anti-drug effort will
> also stem the income of Marxist-rebels and far-right paramilitary forces.
>
> Both groups admit to taxing drug producers to finance their efforts in
> Colombia's 37-year guerrilla war. The conflict has claimed 40,000 mainly
> civilian lives in the past decade.
