<DIV>BOGOTA, Colombia (March 26) - Authorities discovered a submarine-like
vessel Friday still under construction by drug traffickers who planned to use it
to smuggle cocaine, the head of Colombia's secret police said. Eduardo Fernandez
said the fiberglass submarine was nearly complete when police found it near the
Pacific Ocean, in Tumaco, 370 miles southwest of Bogota.<BR><A
