Colombia: Rebels Set Terms for Release
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/31/world/americas/colombia-rebels-set-terms-for-release.html Version 0 of 1. A guerrilla army reiterated on Tuesday its willingness to free a former United States Marine who has been held captive for more than a month, but it insisted that the Colombian government send a high-level delegation to retrieve him. Speaking to reporters in Havana, a senior commander of the guerrillas, known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, said the fate of the captured American, Kevin Scott Sutay, was in the government’s hands. President Juan Manuel Santos of Colombia said last week that he would not send public figures to retrieve Mr. Sutay, vowing not to permit the FARC to make a media spectacle out of his release. |
