Se hizo el esfuerzo de revisar las principales fuentes, en particular la base de datos de la Biblioteca Luis Ángel Arango, pero es inevitable que se omitan materiales importantes, sobre todo si han sido publicados fuera de Colombia (en especial en memorias de congresos y libros colectivos) o por Universidades, instituciones oficiales, que publican con gran entusiasmo pero no tienen mucho interés en distribuir lo que editan, o de empresas privadas, que regalan lo publicado a sus clientes pero no lo envían a las bibliotecas.

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) Colombian President Alvaro Uribe on Saturday praised the capture of top rebel leader Simon Trinidad as evidence that the country's four-decade leftist insurgency can be defeated on the battlefield. Trinidad, one of the seven members of the ruling secretariat of the 16,000-member Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, was arrested late Friday during a routine document check on a street in the neighboring Ecuadorian capital of Quito, police said. He was swiftly extradited to Colombia. "Countrymen: The capture of a FARC leader shows that terrorism will never triumph," Uribe told reporters. He also urged the group's fighters to desert en masse. "It would be good if all of you left the guerrillas, which only serves to kidnap, murder and sustain a drug empire that only enriches its leaders," he said.

Extractions: Web posted at: 6:16 p.m. EST (2316 GMT) BOGOTA, Colombia (CNN) Colombian officials announced that they will extend a demilitarization period which expired Sunday for another 90 days, in an effort to revive peace talks with leftist rebels. Government Peace Commissioner Victor Ricardo said the demilitarization period, in which the government withdrew troops from a guerrilla-dominated area the size of Switzerland, was too short to achieve meaningful progress in talks with the rebels. "The government aspires with this decision that the negotiations start again as quickly as possible and that the rules of the game are observed within the demilitarized zone," Ricardo said Saturday. The next meeting between the two sides is scheduled for April.

The "bus poets" have happily taken to the idea, finally finding a captive audience for an art form that is dwindling in popularity. "There is just one idea to immerse people in poetry, people who are ignorant of poetry and shut off from it because colleges are bad at teaching literature, and poetry is not an obligatory subject," said the program's director, Fernando Herrera.

Extractions: Web posted at: 3:29 a.m. EST (0829 GMT) BOGOTA, Colombia (CNN) One of four American bird-watchers kidnapped last week by leftist rebels in Colombia escaped from his captors, the army said. Thomas Fiore of New York City was found by chance by a television news crew that was in the jungle area 35 miles (56 kilometers) southeast of Bogota to do a story about the abductions. "We're very happy," Gen. Freddy Padilla, the local army commander, told Radionet radio on Thursday. "He's in an Air Force helicopter." Jose Luis Ramirez, a journalist with TV Hoy television news, told The Associated Press that his crew was in a jungle region outside the village of San Luis de Monsor, near where the abductions occurred, when they spotted Fiore. Ramirez said Fiore was covered in mud but looked to be in good condition. Fiore told the journalist he escaped early in the morning while one of his captors was sleeping, then walked through the jungle for seven or eight hours.

Extractions: Colombia has a long history of bloody political fighting, including the quasi civil war of the 1940s and 1950s known as La Violencia, which pitted armed militias of the Liberal and Conservative parties and nearly destroyed the country. The violence never entirely ceased. It was remnants of the Liberal party militia that formed the first guerrilla movement, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), in the 1960s. And it was in response to the rekindled guerrilla threat, first from the FARC and then from the National Liberation Army (ELN), that the first paramilitary formations were set up as ancillary units to the Colombian army.
