Colombia: 5 Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebels killed in Antioquia department
The Colombian army on Thursday killed five suspected FARC rebels in the northwestern Antioquia department.
“They were five rebels who were killed in combat by the Combined Task Force,” said a source within the army.
The rebels were killed in the Paramillo mountains, a traditional heartland of the FARC rebels in northern Colombia.
The area is a base for several FARC units, among them the Mobile Column Mario Velez, that has an estimated 300 members.
