Colombia Three verdict ‘due in days’

THREE republicans accused of training Marxist rebels in Colombia could receive their trial verdict within days, it was claimed yesterday.

Supporters of Martin McCauley, Niall Connolly and James Monaghan were “treating with caution” reports that the verdict could surface today or Monday.

The trio were arrested by the Colombian authorities in August 2001 and accused of travelling on false passports and training the FARC militia.
