TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 2002 The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) on Monday agreed to head back to the negotiating table with President Andres Pastrana, who told rebel leaders their control over territory in southwestern Colombia would expire on Sunday. Pastrana had already amassed army troops on the borders of the Switzerland-sized area of land in preparation of the group's exit from occupied towns. An international delegation moved in to try and prevent the situation from boiling into an all-out war. After Pastrana cut off talks last weekend, the U.S. has increased consideration of increasing assistance to the country's war on drugs, The Washington Post reports today. Get the Story:
