The military said at least 15 rebels and three soldiers were killed. Joining the army's 3,500 soldiers was a flotilla of helicopters and fighter planes. The move came after more than 1,000 members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, were found in the jungle near San Jose del Guaviare. Military pilots claimed that more than 100 guerrillas had been killed, but General Carlos Alberto Fracica, commander of the Rapid Response Force, would not confirm the figure. The guerrillas were located a week ago, after they left a rebel-controlled region where informal peace talks had been staged. The military began sending in troops and hardware last week before launching its attack. The army said the guerrillas had been planning to attack military bases in the south east as well as the communities of Barrancominas, San Jose del Guaviare, Mapripan and Puerto Alvira.
