FARC assasinates between 5 and 8 peasants in Gauviare
http://www.eltiempo.com/colombia/otraszonas/home/farc-asesinaron-a-grupo-de-entre-cinco-y-ocho-campesinos-en-el-guaviare_4381378-1

the murders occurred about 10 days ago but were only reveaed in the last hours. the campesinos were accused of collaborating with the military.

it was difficult to ascertain more info because of heavy FARC presence. the bodies were thrown in a lagoon.


Farc asesinaron a grupo de entre cinco y ocho campesinos en el Guaviare
La matanza ocurrió hace cerca de diez días pero solo se conoció en las últimas horas. Los guerrilleros acusaban a las víctimas de colaborar con las Fuerzas Militares.


El crimen se habría producido en una vereda del municipio de Miraflores, según dijo a la AFP Edwin Monroy, personero de la localidad vecina de Calamar.

"Hubo un ajusticiamiento de entre cinco y ocho personas sindicadas por la guerrilla de colaborar con el Ejército", señaló el funcionario, indicando que los cadáveres al parecer fueron arrojados a una laguna.

Monroy indicó que las autoridades castrenses intentan recabar más información, pero que el proceso es difícil por tratarse de un área con fuerte presencia de las Farc.

Asimismo, desestimó versiones de que la masacre hubiera sido una "demostración de fuerza" de la guerrilla tras el rescate de 15 secuestrados.

1. It's the Colombian government's fault
If that dirty rat Uribe hadn't rescued Ingrid Betancourt and the other hostages, then FARC wouldn't have been forced to retaliate against innocent campesinos.
