Quote of the Day: The paradox of safety

"The paradox of Colombia is that we have good urban security and good tourism infrastructure while the rural areas are crowded with rebels, paramilitaries and drug smugglers."

--Pablo Casas, analyst at Colombian think tank Security and Democracy.

As Reuters reported, tourism in Colombia has achieved record levels despite ongoing violence between the armed forces and rebel factions.
