World IN BRIEF : COLOMBIA : Attackers Kill Two Journalists in Jungle

Two radio reporters were slain by gunmen in an Amazon jungle village of southern Colombia, and, elsewhere in the country, two journalists who were kidnaped last year by the Medellin cocaine cartel were freed. Francisco Santos, news editor of Colombia’s biggest selling newspaper, El Tiempo, and Maruja Pachon, the director of the Colombian Film Institute, were released. Pachon is a former TV news producer and a relative of Sen. Luis Carlos Galan, a presidential candidate who was shot to death by traffickers at a campaign rally in 1989. Killed were Jose Libardo Mendez and Carlos Rodriguez. The attackers and their motive were not known. The deaths of the two brought to 58 the number of journalists assassinated in Colombia in 10 years.
