Colombia president says 'demented' FARC attacks could end peace talks
Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos warned on Tuesday that continuing attacks perpetrated by leftist FARC guerrillas, many of which target infrastructure, could bring an end to peace negotiations with the government.
The threat was made weeks after Santos' successful re-election campaign, which made much of agreements he had reached with the rebels on more than half the agenda for peace talks that he initiated in late 2012 to end a half-century of war.
"What we are saying to them is, keep this up and you are playing with fire and this (peace) process can end," Santos said at an industrial event.
He referred to infrastructure attacks, including a major one this week on an electricity pylon that cut power to Buenaventura, with more than a quarter of a million people the largest city on Colombia's Pacific coast.

Wonder how the FARCies will spin this. Infrastructure strikes in the name of justice? Blows against predatory electricity-generating corporations?

They said so themselves, they're an army FOR the people. Surely those attacks must've been carried out by the Colombian government funded militia. The FARC would NEVER do something so atrocious like bomb civilian areas...
In case it wasn't clear enough
