Father Javier Francisco Montoya, 45, died at the hands of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in the province of Choco earlier this month, a bishop said today.
«The guerrillas said they shot him and will not give us his body because they buried him,» Bishop Alonso Llano, 73, of Istmina-Tado told reporters, without giving any reason for the killing.
The FARC sometimes sees religious authorities as a challenge to its ability to govern areas it controls.
