HAVANA (Reuters) - Colombia's FARC guerrillas pledged on Monday to maintain their unilateral ceasefire despite an attack by the rebels last week that killed 11 government soldiers, saying peace talks with the government should not be broken for any reason.
The Colombian government and Marxist rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) have been engaged in peace talks in Havana for nearly two and a half years. But the negotiations suffered a setback last week when the FARC apparently broke its unilateral ceasefire, killing 11 soldiers in Colombia's rural Cauca province.
