COLOMBIA: FARC/ELN Mount Offensives, Leaving 45 Dead.

REUTERS/       Forty-five police, soldiers and guerrilla fighters have been killed over the past week as the FARC tries to flex its muscle and show its power.
    But, security analyst Alfredo Rangel claims that "the guerrillas want to show that they are still a threat. What they are showing is really the opposite."
    Officials say the smaller and weaker National Liberation Army, or ELN, is joining forces with the FARC to try to ensure its own survival.
