Colombian truce undermined by guerrillas
Colombia’s second largest guerrilla army has accused the armed forces of endangering the peace process by stepping up military actions during a rebel truce.
The National Liberation Army, or ELN, vowed to halt kidnappings and bombings of oil pipelines and electrical towers during a 20-day truce that began on December 18.
In a statement read late Saturday to local RCN radio, ELN founder and leader Nicolas Rodriguez said the rebels had fulfilled their promise but he accused the armed forces of using the truce to secure military gains.
