Farc rebels killed in military strike The air raid over the weekend came after the Colombian government and the guerilla group began peace talks in Norway in October, followed by more discussions in Cuba last month. The insurgents had called for a Christmas ceasefire but President Santos rejected the offer of a temporary truce. He said the rebel group would find government support to become a legitimate political party provided it ended its campaign of violence. "If Farc wants to end the conflict and switch bullets for votes, it will find the government at its disposal," he said. But if it tries to put its revolution on the table again instead of the decree placed on the table in Cuba, there will be no peace. He added: "This cannot be a process of years but months." He indicated his desire to reach a resolution by November next year. The conflict between the rebel faction and the authorities has resulted in 600,000 deaths in the last 50 years, according to government estimates.
