In an increasingly common incident, five FARC kidnappers were killed by special team of anti-terrorist troops in southwestern Colombia. FARCs kidnapping tactics are well known, and the special anti-terrorist troops are staking out areas where the kidnappers are likely to try to grab someone.

Most of the kidnappings are carried out by leftist rebels.
