Ottawa confirms one Canadian missing in Colombia
(Xinhua) -- Canada's Foreign Affairs Ministry confirmed Friday that a Canadian is missing in Colombia, following reports that he was kidnapped by Colombia's largest left-wing rebel group FARC.
Guess FARC's feeling the need to replenish.
Dumb move unless they're out of cash.
Canadian diplomats in Bogota are in contact with Colombian authorities responsible for the investigation after being advised earlier this week about the missing, a spokesperson told reporters in Ottawa, without giving further information. However, according to Canadian media reports citing information from Colombia, the 46-year-old man with the name of Thomas McLain was actually kidnapped.

Leftist guerrillas called the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) kidnapped McLain and his brother-in-law Jesus Salvador Aristizabal Zuluaga, a 47-year-old rancher, in a rural area in the city of Tulua on June 26, the reports said. A group of strangers intercepted the two men, police said. No ransom has been demanded.
