Colombian guerrillas kill three

Leftist guerrillas attacked a small village in south west Colombia, killing three police officers and destroying homes with explosives, police said.

The offensive in La Llanera, 400 miles south west of the capital, Bogota, was blamed on the country’s largest rebel army, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or Farc. The fighting also left a police officer and a civilian injured, while one rebel was captured.
