Colombian terrorist group FARC planning European embassy in coordination with Venezuelan CCB



Colombia's largest rebel group FARC is planning to open an office in one of the European cities of Amsterdam, Brussels or Paris, newspaper El Tiempo reported on Sunday.

The newspaper, basing its reporting on Colombian intelligence documents, says that the FARC is in touch with the Venezuelan Continental Bolivarian Coordinator (CCB) about the establishment of an office in one of the three mentioned cities.

The FARC itself, because it is on the EU's terrorist organization's list, is prohibited from setting up any kind of office within European borders, but the Caracas-based CCB is not considered a terrorist organization and is therefore able to set up an office anywhere in the world.

Note EU-Digest: Based on the principle that "the friend of my enemy is also my enemy", the EU should also put the Caracas-based CCB on its "unwanted" list and block this initiative which seems to have the support of the Venezuelan Government.
