Colombian armed conflict

Colombia’s drug-fueled guerrilla war has gone on for nearly half a century. The last round of peace talks fell apart 10 years ago. But now the Colombian government seems willing to try again. Officials are hopeful that negotiations could bring an end to the deadly attacks and brutal kidnappings that have long plagued their country.

Sigifredo Lopez was held hostage by FARC guerrilla for seven years. But law enforcement officials say Lopez was actually a collaborator with them, and have charged him in connection with the death of his fellow lawmakers.

A buried treasure of millions, desperate soldiers and FARC guerrillas all come together in this true-life thriller set in the Colombian jungle.

The Colombian government and the FARC rebels are in peace talks in Cuba. Both sides are trying to do a little PR for the negotiations — via dueling music videos. John Otis has the story from Bogota.
