The head of Colombia's largest rebel group tells a major magazine that he believes that 99 percent of all guerrillas in his group will abandon their arms once peace accord is signed with the government, according to AP. The head of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia known as Timochenko spoke with the Semana magazine for an interview published in Sunday's edition. He rarely gives interviews to the press. Timochenko's statement is in response to warnings by some political experts in the country that hundreds of the 7,000 guerrillas who belong to the group known as the FARC may have become so dependent on the cultivation of coca for their income that they won't want to give up it or their weapons.
