Church officials in Colombia say a Pentecostal clergyman has been shot dead in the south of the country, in an area occupied by left-wing rebels belonging to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.
The Christians for Peace Foundation said Abel Ruiz was in church with a group of his followers when he was killed.
Another clergyman was shot dead in similar circumstances two weeks ago.
Earlier, police in the Colombian capital, Bogota, said two bombs went off in separate locations, killing one man ahead of the swearing in of President-elect Alvaro Uribe on Wednesday. The authorities said the man killed was planting a bomb.
The police say the FARC are the main suspects.
