BOGOTA, July 5 (Reuters) – Colombia found explosives set to be used in bombs across the capital in reprisal for this week’s rescue of leftist rebels’ highest-profile hostages, including Ingrid Betancourt, military officials said on Saturday.

The army seized about a tonne of explosives at a farm outside Bogota that it suspected the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, planned to use in attacks over the next few days, said the officials, who asked not to be named.
