Colombia Sending
Guerrillas to US
The Colombian government
will start procedures
Wednesday to extradite
to the US two guerrillas
captured by military
forces during the 15
detainees' rescue.
The Commander in General
of the military forces
general Freddy Padilla
made the announcement
after revealing that
Washington ambassador
William Brownfield will
submit the request to
the Colombian Foreign
Ministry.
Then, he added, the
government will start
the corresponding legal
procedures for speedy
extradition to the
United States, by wish
of President Alvaro
Uribe.
On July 2 the Colombian
military forces rescued
15 people who were held
in prison as hostages by
FARC, among them three
US agents, which gave
way to the demand of
extradition.
The army captured two
guerrillas from the
Colombian Revolutionary
Armed Forces, known as
Cesar and Gafas, who
were in charge of
guarding the group of
detainees. |
