FARC REBEL STANDS GUARD NEAR REMAINS OF A BANK DESTROYED DURING AN ATTACK, 2002-07-12 (photo)

A rebel member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) looks the remains of the Agrario bank, destroyed during an attack on the village of Toribio, in the province of Cauca, July 12, 2002. In the attack, 14 Colombian police officers, who had surrendered after running out of bullets in a 20-hour gun battle with leftist rebels, were freed on Friday by the guerrillas for their brave last stand. The officers emerged from the rubble and surrendered to the rebels in the town of Toribio. But at the insistence of the Roman Catholic priest and hundreds of townsfolk, the rebels let the officers go. REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz JMG/GN
