[NOTE: Another of those much publicized murders that the
security forces had accused the guerrillas of committing. Now a brief news
item indicates that...ooops!... it was the paramilitaries that done did
it darn it. BTW, the paras are being sacrificed to extract $1.5 billion
in military aid. With your help, the aid will stay tied up and sooner or
later the paras will be quietly released as usual. -DG]
Last Wednesday police arrested nine paramilitary troopers, accusing
them of being behind the November 18 murder of a priest and a Spanish development

Colombian paramilitary troops threaten to kill hundreds of peasants
BOGOTA -- Paramilitary forces threatened to shoot hundreds
of peasants in northeastern Colombia, who they accused of supplying the
police with information that led to the arrest of nine of their supporters,
locals said Saturday. A number of witnesses said they had been given until
Sunday to leave the town of Las Mercedes, near the city of Quibdo or be
shot.
A political spokesman confirmed that "a number" of peasants from the
village had come to Quibdo on Saturday. Last Wednesday police arrested
nine paramilitary troopers, accusing them of being behind the November
18 murder of a priest and a Spanish development worker who were found drowned
in the Atrato River.
