Colombian Clergy to Negotiate with FARC

08:04 H | Topics: Colombia - Politics

farc.pngMembers of the Catholic Church in Colombia are claiming to be in contact with the FARC and attempting to negotiate the release of more hostages.

Roman Catholic leader Monsignor Luis Augusto Castro said the Church was in discreet contact with the rebels in a bid to secure a Red Cross visit.It is hoped that the Red Cross will be allowed to see more than 40 high-profile hostages in the jungle.
I don't know about how discreet the negotiations are if the news is in the international media, but here's to hoping something positive comes out of it.
