Colombian troops kill 9 FARC rebels

Colombian troops killed nine FARC dissidents in a raid Friday in what the president said was "a clear message" to their leaders who have formally rejected a 2016 peace agreement and announced a return to arms. Dissident leader Ivan Marquez announced on Wednesday a return to arms in a video message, accusing President Duque's government of betraying the accord, under which most of the FARC's 7,000 fighters disarmed after half a century of conflict.
