Title: Colombian violence Post by: pablo on January 21, 2003, 05:00:00 AM I came across a couple articles about more recent violence in Colombia, mostly to the north of Bogota in San Carlos:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2673309.stm and further north, a mountain highway ambush in Bolivar province: http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/Swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=1578199 Even if not venturing out of the main cities, one needs to be very careful as noted in the previous post about the violence at BOG international. I was surprised to find out while talking with an amiga earlier today (living in Bogota) that she did not hear about the attack that killed four people there. Keep a heads up gentlemen when going south. Title: Saturday Post by: Michael B on January 21, 2003, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Colombian violence, posted by pablo on Jan 21, 2003
the FARC destroyed EVERY house La Union. Luckily, the residents were evacuated before FARC blew up their houses. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20030119/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/colombia_attack_1 Title: Footnote Post by: pablo on January 21, 2003, 05:00:00 AM ... in response to Colombian violence, posted by pablo on Jan 21, 2003
Interesting Calipro and I post similar threads regarding violence. The polished con that was being played on him is another example of why it's important to be super careful. Glad you were hurt or robbed. |
