BOGOTA, Colombia (Reuters) The Colombian military has a good idea where Marxist rebels are holding three U.S. Defense Department contractors hostage but has not attempted to rescue them for fear of endangering their lives, the Colombian defense minister said Friday. "We have a pretty clear idea of where they are keeping them, but the prime concern of our armed forces has been the responsibility to avoid any operation which could put them in serious risk," Defense Minister Marta Lucia Ramirez told reporters. Thomas Howes, Marc Gonsalves and Keith Stansell were captured by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia in February when their light aircraft crashed on a southern Colombian jungle hillside while on a mission spying out drug crops. The rebels, a 17,000-strong group known by the Spanish initials FARC, say the three civilians are CIA agents and have put them on a list of politicians and soldiers they want to swap for guerrillas held in government jails. They killed two other crew members who survived the crash a Colombian army sergeant and a U.S. Vietnam veteran.

Personal Safety Risks Abduction is common in Colombia, though tourists are not necessarily targeted. Police have a mixed reputation so avoid them unless absolutely necessary. Military activity often limits travel through otherwise safe areas so check ahead before you plan long trips. Remote areas and the entire area east of the Andes (except Leticia and its environs) should be avoided.

Over the next 100 years, Colombian politics were dominated by the Conservative-Liberal feud, which often broke out into warfare. Periods of democratic government alternated with dictatorships. There were occasions, however, when the two parties were able to unite to see off a common threat. This occurred in 1970, when they joined forces to prevent a bid for power by the Alianza Nacional Popular (ANAPO), led by the former dictator, General Rojas. At a desperately close election in April 1970, which needed four recounts, Rojas was narrowly defeated by Dr Misael Pastrana Borrero, the candidate for the National Front alliance of Liberals and Conservatives.

[Add Section] Map View Enlargement History [edit this] [Upload image] During the pre-Columbian period the area now known as Colombia was inhabited by indigenous people who were primitive hunters or nomadic farmers. The Chibchas who lived in the Bogota region dominated the various Indian groups. Spaniards first sailed along the north coast of Colombia as early as 1500 but their first permanent settlement at Santa Marta was not established until 1525. In 1549 the area was established as a Spanish colony with the capital at Santa fe de Bogota. In 1717 Bogota became the capital of the Viceroyalty of New Granada which included what is now Venezuela Ecuador and Panama. The city became one of the principal administrative centers of the Spanish possessions in the New World along with Lima and Mexico City. On July 20 1810 the citizens of Bogota created the first representative council to defy Spanish authority. Total independence was proclaimed in 1813 and in 1819 the Republic of Greater Colombia was formed. The Republic After the defeat of the Spanish army the republic included all the territory of the former viceroyalty. Simon Bolivar was elected its first President and Francisco de Paula Santander Vice President. Two political parties that grew out of conflicts between the followers of Bolivar and Santanderthe Conservatives and the Liberalshave dominated Colombian politics. Bolivar's supporters who later formed the nucleus of the Conservative Party advocated a strong centralized government alliance with the Roman Catholic Church and a limited franchise. Santander's followers forerunners of the Liberals wanted a decentralized government state rather than church control over education and other civil matters and a broadened suffrage.

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) Colombian rebels, reneging on a promise, said Tuesday they won't release four Israelis and a Briton they are holding hostage in a northern wilderness because of ongoing military operations. In a communique addressed to Israel and Britain, the National Liberation Army, or ELN, said "the lives of your citizens have been put at risk in an irresponsible way by the army." The ELN insisted that it lacked the security conditions needed to release the hostages as planned before Christmas. "We are bitterly disappointed to hear this news that there may be a problem," Sharelle Henderson, the mother of captive British television producer Mark Henderson, told the British national news agency Press Association.
