US Ambassador to Colombia calls for immediate release
美国驻哥伦比亚大使要求立即释放美公民
The US Ambassador to Colombia has called for the immediate release of an American, the main insurgency rebels, FARC, claim to be holding.
Ambassador Michael McKinley says former US marine Kevin Scott Sutay is not an active member of the military. FARC claims it captured Sutay a month ago in a turbulent south-eastern region. It says Sutay describes himself as a 2010-2011 veteran of the Afghan conflict who left the armed forces in March.
It was not clear what Sutay was doing in the Guaviare region, which is not a tourist region. The rebels say he had been nearby a Colombian military base. The group now says it will free Sutay in light of peace talks going on in Cuba to endColombia’s nearly half-century-old conflict with its government.
