FARC attacks local political convoy: Army


Colombia news - San Jose de Guaviare

Rebels of Colombia's largest rebel group FARC attacked a convoy of local officials just outside the capital of Guaviare, the army said Sunday. One official was injured, another went missing.

According to preliminary information from the army, the FARC fired three gas cylinders at a number of cars transporting the officials through a rural area outside the capital San Jose del Guaviare, a city in central Colombia that has traditionally been a guerrilla stronghold.

The chairman of the city council disappeared in this attack.

According to official sources, the attack was carried out by members of the FARC's seventh front.

Unreal, this should not have happened if there was close Army air support following the convoy and proper escorts leading, trailing and in the middle of this group. Believe the writing was on the wall with this one. Of course we do not know the whole story, so am assuming by what happened.
