Ex-FARC leader Jesús Santrich killed in Venezuela, says dissident group 2 minutes read
Bogotá, May 18 (EFE).- A former Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) leader, Jesús Santrich, has been killed in Venezuela, his dissident group said Tuesday.
Santrich (birth name Seuxis Paucias Hernández Solarte) once helped lead the FARC, but then became a negotiator for the peace deal struck with the government in 2016, which ended 50 years of war. He later abandoned the deal and returned to arms.
The rebel leader died while traveling in a truck in Venezuela when it was ambushed by Colombian commandos with rifle fire and grenades, the group named Segunda Marquetalia said in a statement, which could not be verified.
