FARC takes yet more hostages
Advertisements [?]
"Despite calls for an end to kidnapping, Colombia's navy on Monday reported that rebel gunmen had kidnapped six tourists from a Pacific island off Colombia, adding to the more than 700 hostages it still holds for ransom or political leverage.

The FARC has proposed swapping 44 high-profile hostages for hundreds of its jailed fighters, including two now imprisoned in the United States.

Chavez drew an angry rebuke from Colombia's government on Friday, when he suggested that FARC rebels should no longer be classified as terrorists, but rather as a legitimate insurgent group."
