Luis Francisco Cuellar, a Colombian state governor, was kidnapped after gunmen dressed in military uniforms attacked his home in an assault authorities believe was carried out by left-wing FARC guerrillas, Reuters reported Dec. 22. Colombian army and police officials said the Teofilo Forero unit of the FARC rebel group was responsible for the kidnapping. Edilberto Ramon Endo, the secretary for the Caqueta state governor’s office, said the governor was taken from his home by force, adding that a guard was killed. An operation is underway to try to rescue Cuellar.
