At least 11 guerillas and three government soldiers were killed in clashes between the army and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in Colombia, the army's General Gilbero Rocha said Tuesday.

The clash began late Monday close to the village of Remolinos del Caguan, in the southern Colombian department of Caqueta, said Rocha, adding that the army had found a ton of FARC explosives close to the village of Orito, in southern Colombian department of Putamayo.

Elsewhere on Monday, 15 people, including two policemen, were wounded in a bomb attack on a police patrol car in Petecuy, a working class district in Cali. Most of the injured were hit by flying glass.

Two other attacks have also occurred in Cali and caused minor property damage.

Cali authorities said they were considering imposing a curfew as the FARC appeared to be targeting police in cities in southern Colombia.

According to the army, four FARC rebels have been captured and some 40 kg of cocaine seized close to Vistahermosa, a town in the central department of Meta. The army also nabbed three rebels in Puerto Inirida, in the eastern department of Guainia when they were carrying 40 kg of pure cocaine.

FARC is Colombia's largest rebel group, and has been active since the mid-1960s.
