Colombian Soldiers Clash With FARC Rebels After Oil Pipeline Blown
The Colombian Army is U.S. trained.
Colombia’s military says five soldiers have been killed in the country’s northeast in combat with leftist rebels.
The local commander, Gen. Paulino Coronado, says the five were killed Friday in a rural area of Tibu, a hotly contested coca-growing region near the Venezuelan border.
Coronado said Saturday his troops mounted the offensive in Tibu against the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, in February.
Colombia’s military command says the FARC blew a hole in the Cano Limon oil pipeline in the area on Wednesday, spilling 4,000 barrels of crude into the Tibu River.

An intersting note, when Uribe killed Reyes a couple of months ago, he picked up 15% points of approval.
Its great that Columbia is on the hunt and smacking these criminals down. Free men will rule.
