U.S. Will Not Extradite FARC Members

According to Colombian news media, the United States has said that it will not seek the extradition of members of the FARC. Negotiators for the guerrilla group had expressed concerns that once they laid down their arms, they could face jail time and extradition. Some FARC members are now serving prison sentences in the United States, including guerrilla leader Simon Trinidad, who was captured in Ecuador and extradited to the United States in 2004 on drug charges that he denies. teleSUR
