Baku, March 27 (AZERTAC). Colombia`s military killed 32 rebels in the pre-dawn bombing of a guerrilla camp Monday, officials said, striking a second major blow in less than a week to the nation`s main guerrilla force.

Commandos later captured five insurgents, including three women, at the camp in Vista Hermosa in Meta province, a traditional Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia stronghold, the military high command reported.

The commandos also seized weapons and computers, it said.

Last week, the military killed 33 rebels in a similar air raid in Arauca state near the border with Venezuela.

The rebels, known by their Spanish initials FARC, took up arms in 1964 but have been badly battered in recent years and are seeking peace talks.

The FARC has vowed to release its last prisoners, 10 soldiers and police held for as long as 14 years, in early April and recently announced a halt to ransom kidnappings that have been a financing tool along with involvement in the cocaine trade.
