>people in the worst massacre of civilians in three
>years, the authorities said yesterday.
>Nine days after the raid on the fishing town of Nueva
>Venecia, on the Caribbean coast, the death toll was
>still uncertain and one report indicated that as many
>as 86 people may have been killed. The bullet-riddled
>bodies of the missing are still turning up in swamps
>around the town.
>Nueva Venecia is in the heart of a fishing and
>banana-producing region where communist-led rebels and
>ultra-right paramilitary groups have long battled for
>control.
>The bloodshed began at dawn on November 22 when gunmen
>- suspected members of the United Self-Defence Forces
>of Colombia (AUC), the leading paramilitary force -
>began calling out the names of towns people on a "hit
>list" of alleged collaborators of Marxist rebels
>operating in the area.
>Colombia's national human rights ombudsman, Eduardo
>Cifuentes, who is expected to issue an official report
>on the massacre before the weekend, said 2,000 people
>had fled the town since the attack.
