Colombia news - Rivera and Santos

The Colombian government will name a high security and defense adviser following a wave of rural guerrilla attacks on the security forces, W Radio reported Wednesday.

According to the radio station, President Juan Manuel Santos is currently considering at least three candidates for the task.
