Colombian troops shoot four FARC guerrillas, Police detain 10

Army planes bombed at an unspecified date positions of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in the west-coast department of Chocó, killing four presumed FARC fighters and later confiscating arms and "abundant" quantities of ammunition, the newspapers El Espectador and El Tiempo reported on 12 June, citing the army. The army, navy and air force collaborated in the raid, thought to have destroyed a camp belonging to members of the Libardo García Mobile Column in the district of Docordó or Medio San Juan. Police operatives separately detained 10 suspected members of the FARC and of the ELN, the other communist guerrilla force in the country, in several districts of the northern department of Antioquia, the broadcaster W Radio reported on 12 June. The suspects, identified as belonging to the FARC's Mario Vélez Front and the ELN's Captain Mauricio Company, were held in the districts of Caucasia, Casanare, Amalfi, Valdivia and Puerto Valdivia, W Radio reported.
