‘We did not kill Uribe’s father’: FARC

‘We did not kill Uribe’s father’: FARC
Posted by Adriaan Alsema on Jan 19, 2016 |

The FARC on Monday denied killing the father of former President Alvaro Uribe, who has long blamed the guerrilla group for the violent death of his father.

In an interview with newspaper El Espectador, FARC commander “Pablo Catatumbo” denied the responsibility for the death of Uribe’s father on June 14, 1983.

“We did not kill Uribe’s father. This is false, we didn’t have guerrilla fighters over there” in the town of San Roque where Alberto Uribe was shot dead, Catatumbo told El Espectador.

“Where is a judge or an investigation that says it was us?” Catatumbo challenged the newspaper.

Uribe and his family have long insisted that the pater familias was killed by the FARC’s 36th front that is active in the Antioquia province.
