SAN VICENTE DEL CAGUAN, Colombia -- (EFE) -- The Colombian
             government and FARC guerrillas agreed Monday to suspend until April their
             peace negotiations, as well as talks on a possible prisoner exchange.

             The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) issued a three-month
             deadline for the government to demonstrate its willingness to dismantle the
             paramilitary forces operating in the country, and presented a list of police and army
             officials, members of Congress and politicians that it alleges support the militia
             groups.

             The peace talks, which began Jan. 7, were suspended until April 20. Talks on the
             exchange of imprisoned guerrillas for captured soldiers and policemen were put off
             until April 26.

             The rebel list of alleged collaborators with the rightist vigilantes, who often act as
             death-squads, includes 10 army generals, five members of congress, one
             governor, two ex-governors and two former Cabinet ministers. Also on the list is
             police Maj. Royne Chavez, head of presidential security.
