A group of former rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) announced it will launch a new armed offensive.
The rejected peace deal between FARC rebels and the government took four years to negotiate, and would have officially ended five decades of conflict.
Colombians vote this weekend on whether to approve a deal that would end 52 years of guerrilla war. The referendum is diving families, like that of reporter Luis Gallo.
Gen. Ruben Dario Alzate was kidnapped by FARC, a Colombian guerilla group, after an unexplained, unarmed visit to a rural village. No one knows why he made the ill-informed decision, but the abduction may have ended efforts by FARC and the government to end their 50-year-old war.
