Colombian Commander Says 67 Rebels Killed
BOGOTA - Colombia bombarded leftist rebel camps and killed an estimated 67 insurgents, the air force commander said Saturday. The report could not be immediately verified. Gen. Hector Fabio Velasco told RCN television that the rebels were killed in two separate attacks in southern Meta and Cauca states. He didn't say when the attacks occurred nor did he say to which rebel army the fighters belonged. Attempts to reach air force and defense ministry officials for further comment were unsuccessful. An army spokesman said he had no knowledge of the aerial bombardments.Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-06-14 |
