Air Force claims 14 rebel deaths in camp bombing

Colombia’s air force killed fourteen guerrillas in a bombing of a rebel camp in the central Meta department, authorities say.

According to a Defense Ministry spokesman, airplanes bombed the camp between the municipalities of Vistahermosa and Puerto Rico where some 200 guerrillas were hiding.

Local media reported the Air Force carried out a number of operations aimed to destroy possible hideout places of FARC commander ‘Efren Arboleda’, commander of the guerrillas’ 27th front.

The army announced earlier Monday they had started an offensive against the FARC’s 49th front in the Caqueta department.
