Two Spanish tourists were kidnapped in Colombia while driving near the Venezuelan border in the town of La Guajira. The couple disappeared Friday but the Colombian government did not confirm it was in fact a kidnapping until Tuesday. Colombian authorities have reported the attackers identified themselves to the victims' families as members of the Farc left-wing rebel group in Colombia. This group has been in conflict with the Colombian government for many years and are in sensitive negotiations current day. The organization committed many kidnappings throughout the past few years but have reportedly given them up. No organization has confirmed the involvement or non-involvement of the attackers within their organization.
