HeadlineJul 15, 2014

Colombian troops killed 13 rebels and captured one over the weekend in the country’s northwest. Peace talks aimed at ending the 50-year conflict are set to resume today. President Juan Manuel Santos won re-election last month after vowing to press ahead with the talks. But military operations against the FARC have continued.
