The families of Colombians kidnapped by domestic guerillas are angry at the Uribe administration (article in Spanish) for the government's active role in the case of a Colombian man kidnapped in Afghanistan. “We hope the government has the same generosity for those kidnapped in Colombia” said the daughter of a kidnapped ex-legislator in response to the government’s original offer of paying the ransom directly to Afghani kidnappers.
In the meantime, a spokesman for Colombia’s second largest guerilla group suggested a prisoner amnesty as a proposal for talks with the government.
