Colombia attorney general stands by claim that ELN rebels plan to kill him
Colombia's attorney general on Wednesday defended the credibility of intelligence reports that ELN rebels were plotting to kill him and two other people despite denials by the ELN and military. Two weeks ago, Attorney General Francisco Barbosa reported that the National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrilla group planned to assassinate him using a sniper. Barbosa's claim was followed by similar reports of planned attacks against Maria Fernanda Cabal, a senator of the right-wing Democratic Center party, and retired army general Eduardo Zapateiro.
