BOGOTA (Reuters) - A criminal gang is offering bounties of $1 million (£0.76 million) to assassins who kill leaders from Colombia's Marxist FARC rebel group, a lawyer for the guerrillas said on Tuesday, as the group prepares to take seats in Congress as part of a peace deal.

The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, fought the government for more than half a century, but handed in its weapons as part of the deal, negotiated during more than four years of talks in Cuba.
