Attempt On Uribe's Life Would Destroy Colombia Peace Process, Negotiator Says -- Reuters
(Reuters) - Colombia's lead representative in peace talks with Marxist FARC rebels said on Wednesday that any attack against former President Alvaro Uribe would destroy the negotiations.
Humberto de la Calle said talks ongoing in Cuba would be "unviable" and could be "destroyed" if suspected plans by the FARC to assassinate Uribe and Attorney General Eduardo Montealegre were put into practice.
He was responding to a comment by Defense Minister Juan Carlos Pinzon, who said on Tuesday that one of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia's elite fighting units was planning a hit on the hard-line ex-president, who with the help of the United States stepped up attacks on the rebels during his eight years in office that ended in 2010.
