Colombia's two biggest rebel groups say may unite | Reuters: "The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN) issued a surprise joint statement in which they threatened to unite with 'force and belligerence' in their fight against the conservative Uribe.
The two groups, labeled terrorists by Washington, have deep ideological differences but now appear willing to consider uniting for the sake of survival.
'We are on our way toward working for unity,' said the statement signed by the FARC and ELN. It was published on the ANNCOL news agency website (anncol.eu/) which is often the first to carry Colombian rebel statements.
'Our only enemy is North American Imperialism and its oligarchic lackeys,' the statement said.
The ELN, formed by renegade Catholic priests and inspired by the liberation theology movement of the 1960s, has clashed repeatedly with the hard-line communist FARC."
