Colombian Rebels Increase Oil Pipeline Attacks.

BLOOMBERG.

FARC rebels have stepped-up attacks on Colombia's Transandino pipeline.

"Colombia’s efforts to push back rebel troops and bolster infrastructure security has reduced sabotage on pipelines since President Alvaro Uribe took office in 2002. Attacks dropped to about 11 last year, compared with the start of the decade, when one pipeline was attacked a record 171 times in a year, he said."

Recent assaults have halted oil transportation but not production.
