7叛军被哥伦比亚军队杀害

 　　BOGOTA, May 5 (Xinhua) -- At least seven members of the rebel Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) were killed and another one was captured in the southwestern department of Narino, the military announced Sunday.

　　Leonardo Barrera, chief of the southwestern joint¹ command, said the guerrillas were members of the FARC 29th Front.
