MANAUS, Brazil - Brazil and Colombia are stepping up security along their border to stop drug gangs from recruiting renegade FARC rebels and their weapons as the guerrillas disarm, officials said. Colombian officials have already warned that the Gulf Clan is recruiting FARC renegades. "Peace in Colombia cannot be a cause for concern for the whole neighborhood." Under a Colombian peace deal signed in November, the FARC has agreed to disarm and relaunch itself as a political party. But the Colombian government estimates that five per cent of the more than 6,000 FARC fighters will not adhere to the plan.
