FARC: Raid Harms Betancourt Release Bid

Iván Márquez, one of seven leaders of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, says that after the raid by Colombian forces it was clear “there would be no meeting with the French delegation to explore the release of Ingrid.”Márquez’s letter was published Monday by Venezuela’s Bolivarian Press Agency, which has carried statements from the rebels in the past.The government of France has worked intensely to win the freedom of Betancourt, a dual French-Colombian citizen who is feared to be near death after six years in captivity.
