BOGOTÁ — Colombia’s largest rebel group on Thursday turned over the remains of a police officer who died while being held captive — the guerrillas’ latest gesture aimed at prodding the government into negotiating a prisoner exchange.
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, gave a humanitarian mission led by Sen. Piedad Cordoba the coordinates of the spot for the handover of the remains of police Maj. Julian Guevara. Guevara was captured by FARC in November 1998, and he died in January 2006 while captive.
