Colombian troops have killed 14 rebels during an operation in the north-east of the country, the army says. It says the dead belonged to Colombia's main rebel group, the Farc, and were involved in the sabotage of oil installations in Arauca province. The Colombian government and the left-wing rebels have been holding peace talks in Cuba for more than a year. But the fighting has continued despite repeated calls by the Farc for a temporary cease-fire.
