LA PAZ, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- Bolivian President Evo Morales said Wednesday that Bolivia has seized a total of 19 tons of cocaine so far this year, more than the 11 tons for all of 2005.

    "Also, in the first nine months of 2009, Bolivia eradicated 5,000 hectares of coca (cocaine's raw ingredient) without shooting a single bullet," Morales told a press conference in Quemado Palace in La Paz.

    The country's anti-drug forces also discovered mega-factories of cocaine hydrochloride with sophisticated equipment, Morales said.

    Morales stressed that Bolivia has achieved success in combating drug trafficking without cooperation of the United States.

    Bolivia planned to buy planes with radars to detect aircraft with drug, but "the United States was against those buys," Morales added.
