 BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - Government troops consolidated their grip Friday on a mountain town retaken from leftist rebels and the town's Indian residents slowly began to return despite fears of more violence.
Helmeted troops warily patrolled the streets of Tacueyo, 190 miles southwest of the capital, Bogota, two days after a military convoy of armored vehicles drove into the town, forcing the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, rebels into the surrounding mountains.
"Tacueyo is calm today and some residents are starting to return, but they are scared," said Jazmin Hascue, the deputy mayor of nearby Toribio.
