While security forces searched for a missing
Spanish journalist in Colombia, two more journalists were reported
missing Tuesday in the same region.
The two journalists from the right-leaning TV
network RCN had traveled to the Catatumbo region to cover the hunt for
Salud Hernandez-Mora, a longtime correspondent for the Spanish newspaper
El Mundo whose weekly column in the Bogota daily El Tiempo is one of
the most read in Colombia.
Authorities declined to call Hernandez-Mora's disappearance a
kidnapping, and no one had claimed responsibility for her disappearance,
but speculation heightened that she could have been taken hostage by
the rebel National Liberation Army, the ELN. It is one of several armed
groups and drug trafficking gangs dominant in the mountainous area
bordering Venezuela.
