Colombia's rebels pave road to peace with apologies

For the third time in a week Colombia's largest rebel movement is asking forgiveness from its victims during the country's decades-long conflict.
Leaders of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia traveled today to the Gulf of Uraba region to meet with residents of a town where a rebel unit in 1994 killed 35 people during a street party.
The ceremony follows FARC leader Ivan Marquez's donation Thursday of a Christ statue to a church destroyed in a 2002 bombing by the rebels.
On Monday, FARC leader Rodrigo Londono apologized for the rebels' crimes during a signing ceremony putting an end to a half-century of hostilities with the government.
