World farmers resist campaign to wipe out coca
In Florencia Colombia amid bayoneted teen soldiers tear gas and gasoline bombs fly as peasants contest a US backed drive to eradicate coca fields. A protester lies dying from a shoulder wound as barricades fail to hold drawing in more angry crowds and disrupted transport. Across the region protests spread with thousands marching against eradication plans to remove more than 100000 acres by 1997 despite new plantings. Nearby Peru and Bolivia see protests as well. In Canada two German jets crashed during low level training exercises with four crew members aboard.
