The Colombian government and the National Liberation Army (ELN) rebel group announced Tuesday a six-month extension to the cease-fire that has been in.
The Colombian government and ELN rebels, the country's largest remaining rebel group, have jointly announced a one-week extension of their current ceasefire.
Colombia's ELN rebel group, which sparked controversy by kidnapping the father of a national football star, announced on Sunday its commitment to cease kidnappings for ransom.
The Colombian government and the armed rebel group National Liberation Army (ELN) agreed to a cease-fire deal at the fifth round of negotiations in Mexico.
Colombia's attorney general on Wednesday defended the credibility of intelligence reports that ELN rebels were plotting to kill him and two other people despite denials by the ELN and military. Two weeks ago, Attorney General Francisco Barbosa reported that the National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrilla group planned to assassinate him using a sniper. Barbosa's claim was followed by similar reports of planned attacks against Maria Fernanda Cabal, a senator of the right-wing Democratic Center party, and retired army general Eduardo Zapateiro.
