Colombia: Rebels Reject Government's Asylum Offer
 Colombian rebels have rejected the government's proposal for asylum abroad for jailed guerrillas freed in any potential prisoner swap.

Rebel commander Ivan Marquez said in an interview published on Saturday on a website that the government's offer of asylum in France or elsewhere was an insult to guerrilla dignity.

The offer was made earlier this year before Colombia's military lured FARC rebels into freeing their most prized hostages, dual French national Ingrid Betancourt and three Americans. French officials have said they would accept guerrillas who renounce violence.
