BOGOTA – A man wanted for the 2002 massacre of more than 100 people in Bojaya, a village in northwestern Colombia, was one of 10 FARC guerrillas captured in a police counterinsurgency operation, National Police chief Gen. Oscar Naranjo said.
Rigoberto Garcia Restrepo, known as “Rigo,” allegedly participated in the May 2, 2002, massacre in Bojaya, where 119 people were killed and 114 others, including more than 40 children, were wounded in fighting between Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, guerrillas and right-wing militiamen.
“Ten terrorists, including alias ‘Rigo,’ who belonged to the FARC for 12 years and was responsible for the attacks on Vigia del Fuerte and Bojaya, with hundreds of dead, were arrested in an intelligence operation,” Naranjo said.
