French journalist missing in Colombia following FARC attack

FARC leader Timoleon Jimenez earlier this month denied that proposed
negotiations with the government imply the guerrillas intend to surrender
any time soon.

The FARC leader said the rich-poor divide in Colombia needed to be one of the
issues on the table for future talks.

Earlier this month, the FARC released the last 10 police officers and soldiers
they were holding hostage.

But Olga Gomez, president of the Free Country Foundation, estimates that the
FARC is still holding more than 400 civilians hostage. FARC says the
foundation’s numbers are false and biased, but has released no figures of
its own.
