Leftist guerrillas in Colombia agreed to withdraw from one of their bases, ending a three-week confrontation with the army that threatened a nationwide truce, according to official sources and a Bogota radio report. The radio report said rebels of the April 19 Movement, or M-19, agreed to leave a mountainside camp 180 miles southwest of Bogota within four weeks and to move to an area on the opposite side of the mountain. It was not known if the rebels will keep their weapons or if authorities plan to arrest those guerrillas facing criminal charges.
