Abstract

The article reports on the killing of Jorge Briceno Suarez, the number two leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), by an airstrike on the jungle guerrilla camp. The death of Suarez has provided a boost to the administration of President Juan Manuel Santos. Most analysts believe that the killing of Suarez will not end the armed conflict in the country. The military offensive against the FARC is supported by the U.S.
