FARC and ELN in alliance: Minister

by Kathryn Thompson March 19, 2011

Colombia news - San calixto attack

Colombian authorities are working on the idea that the country’s two largest guerrilla groups, the FARC and the ELN, are in alliance to commit simultaneous terrorist acts.

The announcement comes after two simultaneous attacks in the towns of San Calixto and Las Mercedes in the Norte de Santander department on Thursday killed six people.

Colombian Defense Minister Rodrigo Rivera said the possible alliance is a strategy to destabilize the security forces at the Colombian-Venezuelan. Rivera told La FM that the partnership between the two insurgent groups is a sign that the end is near because they fear the police.

One of the relatives of the victims of the attack in San Calixto said it was unfair what happened to honest and hardworking people, RCN radio reported on Saturday.
