(AFP) - Some 400,000 people in Colombia's bustling port city of Buenaventura lost power Sunday after a key electrical tower was destroyed -- an act military officials blamed on FARC rebels.

"At 9:45 am (1445 GMT) Buenaventura was left without electrical service," read a statement from the power company, the Energy Enterprise of the Pacific (EPSA).

A military overflight located the destroyed electricity tower some 27 kilometers (18 miles) from the urban center of Buenaventura, officials said, after two large explosions were reported.

The port of Buenaventura, Colombia's largest, handles most of the nation's foreign trade.

1. FARC has used the time gained through these prolonged

'negotiations' to re-equip, recruit and re-arm. Now that they're coming close to the point where it becomes obvious to the most convinced that there never was any genuine intent to negotiate a peace treaty with the national government they are again beginning to assault both government and civilians alike. Just a tragic version of 'Groundhog Day'

2. Colombia should officially request that Cuba extradite the FARC leadership

for prosecution. This "peace process" is a joke. the only thing the FARC leaders care about is not being prosecuted, and in particular, not being set to the US.

3. I always kinda hoped that the "peace process" was a set-up of some sort against the FARC leadership

But I guess Santos is just that naive. Hopefully these last few attacks have done away with any kind of chance of giving the FARC any kind of amnesty. They should be treated the same way as Al Qaeda or the Taliban. No quarter given.
