A military operation in Valle del Cauca, west Colombia, on Friday resulted in the capture of a FARC leader and the death of 13 guerillas, said Colombia's President Juan Manuel Santos.
According to Santos, five guerillas were killed in direct combat whilst another eight were buried in an landslide caused by an aerial bombing raid.
The president hailed the capture of the alleged FARC leader, known as "Tereco", saying that he had been "spreading terror in the zone of Buga and Tulua."
The president has called the attack a strong blow against the structure of the FARC.
