The FARC have been traditionally hostile to autonomous action by Indians in Colombia, and indeed have murdered many indigenous people. It is good to see that at least one FARC gangster may pay for this type of crime. In the meantime, other FARC war crimes continue ... From AP: BOGOTA, Colombia - Rebels burst into a hospital and shot dead two soldiers who were seeking treatment, the latest in a string of attacks in Colombia's lawless Arauca state. ... On Wednesday, the Colombian Supreme Court approved the extradition of a FARC rebel wanted in the United States for the 1999 murders of three pro-Indian activists in Arauca state. |

how do we know the three 'indian activists' were not CIA agents using a ruse?
It's complicated, yes, but there is an autonomous indigenous movement which is independent of the FARC, the govt, the CIA and the lot of them. Ppl should think before assuming the forces are only Leftist rebels or the US-backed State...there's also the grassroots.
Joe, a lot of the recent articles on FARC that you have published here are related; please try and post your new updates as comments to the artices you have already created rather than a new one each time (it's not about disc space or anything, text takes up a small amount of that, it's that a wider range of topics can be visible on the front few pages of the newswire).
Cheers.
What is the point of continuously repeating Colombian anti-FARC newspaper reports?, the Colombian "government", death squads and military have all committed war crimes, yet all we hear from Joe about is FARC "gangsters". The tactic of trying to criminalize political opponents was also tried by the Brits. As this "news" is not Irish, I question it's relevance, unless of course there is a subliminal thing going on to gansterize the Sinners via alleged association.
