WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. prosecutors on Wednesday began their second attempt to hold Latin American rebel leader Ricardo Palmera responsible for keeping three Americans hostage for four years.
Palmera, who is better known by his nom de guerre Simon Trinidad, is a senior member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, the group's Spanish initials.
Latin America's largest rebel army, the FARC captured three Americans after their plane crashed in a rebel stronghold in southern Colombia in 2003.
