My novia says this is a town near Medellin.  The article makes it sound like it is near Bogota.

Careful.  If you read the article, you'd have caught who the news' source was.

The Associated Press.

Right below the article heading, before the first paragraph; where such credit is normally found.

It's not a 'moc-umentary.'  It's an honest-to-goodness story.

You're starting off on the wrong foot here.  This is about women.

Then why did you post it!  Here is a noble idea if you don't like what I say don't read it!

San Rafael is about 60/70 km south east of Medellin off the main route to Bogotá

It's also just an hour's drive from from Barrancabermeja (arguably the most dangerous city in Colombia - or the world for that matter).  Until recently this was a big-time paramilitary stronghold - I wonder if the recent truce/surrender of some of the para units is having a negative impact whereby the guerrillas are taking advantage of any unclaimed turf.
