Colombian
Guerrilla Chief Killed in Action
Bogota - Javier Galvis Flores (Mauricio), a
member of the Central Command of the
National Liberation Movement (ELN), was
killed in action by the National Police,
according to sources from that corps.
The source added that the clash occurred in
the rural zone of the municipality of Libano,
in the central-western department of Tolima.
Mauricio's death was confirmed by Defense
Minister Juan Manuel Santos shortly before
departing for Peru on Friday.
He said the clash in which Mauricio was
killed was part of a series of ongoing
operations by the National Police against
the Bolshevik front of the ELN headed by the
late guerrilla chief.
According to Santos, four other insurgent
leaders had been killed earlier.
Recently, President Alvaro Uribe offered a
150,000-dollar reward to whoever provided
information about Mauricio's whereabouts. |
