Colombia 'bombs Farc jungle camp'
Didn't see anything about this...guess it got lost in all the uproar about the FARC rocket launchers.

Colombian forces have bombed a rebel camp in the jungle, killing at least 16 suspected guerrillas, officials say.

The aerial bombing, south of the capital Bogota, was part of a hunt for the military chief of the Farc rebels, Jorge Briceno - known as "Mono Jojoy".

He leads the most powerful division of the left-wing group, and is believed to have some 4,000 men under his command.

Colombian rebels have been under pressure following a military campaign launched by President Alvaro Uribe.
