Colombia’s armed forces have killed three members of the FARC in combat in the central Meta department, defense sources told local media Sunday.
The combat took place Saturday in the La Macarena region, only miles from the place where “Mono Jojoy,” the FARC’s military commander was killed in September 2010.
According to the military sources, two rebels deserted their ranks while in combat with special army forces.
The Macarena region is considered the center of operations of the FARC’s Eastern Bloc.
