Family massacred in Colombia

The authorities in Colombia say at least five members of the same family have been killed in the latest attack by suspected right-wing paramilitaries.

The bodies were found near the town of Florida, in southeastern Colombia.

The family had been abducted on Sunday night, apparently by gunmen who accused them of sympathising with the country's left-wing rebels.
