The FARC forbid all transport in the south of the Caqueta department,
logistics companies say. Trucks that do enter the area will be burnt,
the guerrillas threatened.
According to several transporters, the FARC have forbidden all transport on the highway connecting the towns in the south of the department with the rest of Colombia.
