Firefight
Having ceded control of the main towns within their safe haven, the rebel fighters (FARC)
continue to display their presence and power.
Roadblocks are set up to control both the population and entice the government troops to
engage them in combat.

Civilians caught in the crossfire look desperately for a chance to flee. Gunfire erupts from both sides, advancing government troops and retreating rebels.

Paramilitaries are responsible for more than 70 percent
of the human rights abuses in Colombia.
http://www.colombiajournal.org/Para6s.jpg




The AUC works closely with the Colombian
army in its war against the guerrillas.
http://www.colombiajournal.org/Para8s.JPG


During the 1990s, the paramilitaries grew from
under a thousand to a force of 8,000 fighters
http://www.colombiajournal.org/Para3s.JPG



The AUC receives funding from the drug trade,
large landowners and wealthy businessmen.
http://www.colombiajournal.org/Para10s.JPG


Paramilitary fighters receive more than
double the Colombian minimum wage
http://www.colombiajournal.org/Para5s.JPG






Many paramilitaries are former
soldiers from the Colombian army

Paramilitary fighters from this brigade were involved in nine hours of combat against the
FARC in the village of El Tigre only days prior to this image.
As a result of this combat, virtually the entire population have become displaced.

Members of AUC 'Death Squads' routinely wear masks to hide their identity when in action.
http://www.conflictpics.co.uk/AUC/Images/auc4L.jpg




AUC fighters are ferocious in combat. Their willingness to engage the enemy, combined with formidable fire-power, makes them a force to be reckoned with.

What type of weapon is this? It looks, from the magazine, that it is in 5,56mm. The rifle grenade is the Yugoslavian M60 Anti-Personel. Could the rifle be the Zastava M-80 5,56x45?
Please help.

[RomanS]

That looks like a Bulgarian Milled reciever with a black Polymer plastic furniture
interesting.

Very rare too

Now that's a pretty groovy combination; webbing and a Che Guevara T shirt.

Great pics

Flanker 7 and PermskiOMON, both correct. That is a Yugoslav rifle grenade he has mounted on his rifle.
Most of the Kalashinkov's are Bulgarian and appear to be in 5.56mm.
