I just found this.
Embassy is warning that leftist rebels may be targeting Americans at a popular resort town as the rest of Colombia prepares for a three-day weekend.

Where is Melgar? Sounds like an interesting play to visit.

cali373 says on Jul 2, 2007, 23:32: I just wanted to put into perspective the difference between the three american hostages and most americans that visit Colombia. The three american hostages were on a mission under plan colombia and the US dept of defense, patrolling a FARC controlled region. Which basically makes them fair game for the FARC.

Miamigo says on Jul 3, 2007, 03:24: Sounds like these guys were trying to pull a Bogota Beer Company attack in Melgar. The only reason we go to Melgar is Kualamana -- not the bars or the rest of the city outside of CAFAM.
