The Guatemalan military has announced the discovery of several coca plantations in a mountainous area of eastern Guatemala. Until now it was thought that, although involved in cocaine trafficking, Guatemala was not a cocaine producing country. The discovery of several coca plantations and processing laboratories was made after the military was granted emergency powers following the murder of three soldiers by drug traffickers.
