Rebels, Rightists Killed During Clash

More than 30 combatants died when Marxist rebels stormed a hide-out of an ultra-right paramilitary group in their bid to seize back control of part of the northwest area of this nation, sources on both sides said in Bogota. Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, guerrillas said in a communique that they overran a camp in the war-torn banana-growing region of Uraba early Wednesday and killed 32 paramilitary gunmen as they slept. But Carlos Castano, head of the outlawed paramilitary Peasant Self-Defense Force of Cordoba and Uraba, said in a call to a local radio station that 19 of his fighters and 16 guerrillas had been killed in the clash near the town of Pavarando.
