Colombian army kills 14 Farc rebels amidst peace talks

The Colombian army has killed 14 Farc rebels, who it alleged were sabotaging oil installations in Arauca province, amidst on-going peace efforts in Cuba for over a year.

Last week, the Farc's unilateral ceasefire ended, as the Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos asserted that the conflict would continue until Farc surrendered its arms.

Late last year the two sides announced that a "fundamental agreement" had been reached, including on land reform and a political future.
