Bogota - QNA

Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said that the leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia escaped an attack by less than a day. Santos said that security forces raided a remote camp on Thursday believed to have been a hideout for the top leader of the group commonly known as FARC, according to the (CNN). Alfonso Cano, the pseudonym of the leader, slept at that location, near the border of Huila and Cauca in the center-west of the country, Wednesday night, Santos added. After the raid, authorities found clothes they believe belonged to Cano plus evidence of two dogs. Authorities also found large quantities of the cigarettes the FARC leader is thought to smoke. \"We were very close,\" the president told reporters at a military airport in Bogota. He said security forces had acted on an intelligence tip from one of Cano\'\'s \"own people.\" Cano took over the FARC\'\'s top spot after an apparent heart attack killed the former leader, Manuel Marulanda, in March 2008. The FARC has been at war with the Colombian government since the 1960s. While severely weakened in recent years, the leftist guerrilla group has continued to carry out kidnappings and attack security forces in the South American nation. The United States and European Union consider the FARC a terrorist organization. Despite the fact that Cano eluded capture, Santos praised the operation against him, stressing the group is increasingly weak and on the run. He asked the public to have patience and vowed to continue taking the fight to wherever the guerrillas go.
