- Story Text: At least nine people, including six leftist rebels, have been killed in the latest round of political fighting in Colombia.
The six Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) rebels are reported to have died in a gunfight with troops as they attempted to raid Puerto Rico, a small town in eastern Meta province.
The FARC and smaller National Liberation Army (ELN) have stepped up attacks in the run-up to nationwide elections for mayors, governors and town councilors to be held on Oct. 26.
