Gunmen kill members of indigenous Colombian group

Hooded men in uniforms without insignia shot and killed 12 members of the Awa indigenous group, including five children, on a reserve in a region plagued by the cocaine trade, Colombian authorities said.

Indigenous leaders and government officials said the killings took place when 10 gunmen opened fire on two houses in the Gran Rosario reserve, about 50 miles inland from the port of Tumaco in Narino state. The reserve has about 1,500 Awa.
