Bogotá is reported to have paid US$ 350,000 for Granda's abduction

Colombia paid US$ 350,000 for the abduction of the so-called "chancellor" of the Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) Rodrigo Granda, reported Wednesday the Colombian W Radio station as quoted by news agency EFE.

W Radio reported that the bounty amount appears in the "intelligence report" of the Colombian authorities related to the rebel's case, whose abduction in Caracas brought about an impasse in the Venezuela-Colombia relations.

Don't know how much credibility this news can have, as it's offered by a Venezuelan right-wing "opposition" publication. Thatsa lotta money to do something absolutely wrong in order to create a break in what was becoming a closer working relationship between Venezuela and Colombia.

I think they should look a little farther north for the "genius" behind this scheme.
