Romeo Langlois, a freelance reporter for French news channel France 24, was caught in a firefight with the rebels, known as FARC, as police and military sought to dismantle drug laboratories in the jungles of Caqueta in southern Colombia. His disappearance will focus attention on the FARC after its release this month of 10 members of the armed forces held hostage in jungle camps for more than a decade. The insurgent group, which has battling the government for almost 50 years, has made repeated gestures toward peace in recent months as a U.S.-backed offensive batters its front lines, halving its fighting force and killing top commanders. President Juan Manuel Santos has said he remains open to peace talks only if the FARC ceases all terrorist activity against civilian and military targets and stops kidnapping. The FARC's leadership has pledged to stop taking hostages for ransom. Three soldiers and one police official died in Saturday's attack, the Defense Ministry said in a statement. Five members of the counter-narcotics patrol originally were reported missing with Langlois but were found alive. No FARC fighters were reported killed or captured. France 24 is working with the French Foreign Ministry and Colombian authorities to "obtain more information about the journalist's whereabouts," France 24 said in a statement. "We know that it is a dangerous region. We are of course concerned but we trust Romeo, who knows the region well and has a lot of experience," Nahida Nakad, head of its foreign audiovisual editorial operations, said in the statement. "We hope that he is safe and sound. We are in permanent contact with his family. The whole editorial department of France 24 is worried and has the family in their hearts." The FARC, involved in the production of much of the world's cocaine, operates across Colombia but is strong in the south, where the soil and humidity are perfect for cultivation of coca, the raw material for cocaine. The raid Saturday resulted in the destruction of five labs with weekly capacity to produce 400 kilos of coca paste, which is turned into cocaine. The FARC, which has kidnapped thousands of civilians over the decades to help pay for weapons, food and uniforms, is classified as a terrorist group by the United States and the European Union.
