| (SomaliNet) Suspected FARC rebels in Colombia have abducted ten people from a hamlet south of the capital Bogota. The police say up to eight gunmen stormed the hamlet at night shouting that they belonged to the left-wing rebel movement. The rebels are holding hundreds of people, including a number of politicians, hoping to exchange them for ransom. The best-known hostage is former presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, who was freed in army raid in July. |
