### DEA Operations
The [[DEA|Drug Enforcement Administration]] designated the FARC as a major drug trafficking organization and conducted multiple operations targeting its financial and logistical networks. In 2007-2008, the DEA conducted a sting operation in which undercover agents posing as FARC representatives contacted arms dealer [[Monzer Al-Kassar]], seeking weapons including anti-aircraft missiles. Al-Kassar agreed to supply weapons to what he believed was the FARC for operations against Americans in Colombia. His arrest and extradition to the United States resulted in a 2008 conviction in the Southern District of New York, with the FARC weapons solicitation forming the core of the charges.[^1]
