Colombian police have arrested two American soldiers for suspected arms trafficking in the second scandal to hit the US military here in just over a month, police and the US embassy said on Wednesday. The two unidentified soldiers were found with 32,000 rounds of 9-mm ammunition in a condominium in the central Colombian town of Carmen de Apicala on Tuesday. Police said they suspected the two stole the ammunition - suitable for pistols or submachine guns - from the Colombian army and planned to sell it to illegal far-right paramilitaries. In Washington, the State Department confirmed two US soldiers had been detained by Colombian authorities.
