COLOMBIA - In search of the hostages Vichada

"The hostages are being sought Vichada on land, air and along the rivers," as the Bogotá daily on its website. March 7, 23 subcontractors Talisman, a Canadian oil company, were abducted in the department of Vichada, in eastern Colombia. For now, the authorities favor the hypothesis of an act committed by the guerrilla Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), even though many criminal gangs also operate in the region.
