MONDAY, JANUARY 21, 2002 The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) on Sunday proposed to sign a cease-fire agreement with the Colombian government by April 7. The concession came as President Andres Pastrana was to revoke the rebel group's authority over a Switzerland-sized swath of territory in southwestern Colombia. The land was ceded to the rebels at the start of talks three years ago. Pastrana was prepared to send in troops to take back key areas in the territory because he said talks had failed. International mediators stepped in and brokered the latest agreement. Get the Story:
