As someone said elsewhere on another subject-classic FARC lies.

No one stole their hostages-that never happened.

No real proof for this, but it makes sense at least. Obviously, Uribe´s government and his american allies try to prevent any peaceful (negotiated) solution to the conflict, because thsis would mean an incorporation of the Guerilla into the political proces in Colombia. This has happened in variuos southamerican contries from El Salvador to Uruguay (where the Tupamaros are now in the government), and the Ex-guerilleros are doing quite well politically (In Colombia this was tried before by the M19, but they all got killed by the Right).

Colombia is the only remaining US-ally on the continent and has to be hold at any cost by the oligarchy and the USA.

There is absolutely zero evidence and even FARC itself has keep officially quiet.

I don't believe that FARC would do this so easily, especially considering some of the most important hostages were present.

You'd really need to give me some evidence, not just an unnamed FARC source.

This phrase continues to be telling:

"Sin embargo, todos aclararon que no disponían de información concreta. Tampoco especularon sobre a quién irían a ser entregados los rehenes si la versión fuera cierta. "
