BOGOTA (Reuters) – A representative of Colombia’s National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrillas said on Thursday the group will free the father of Liverpool football star Luis Diaz “as soon as possible”, days after kidnapping him in the country’s north.
Diaz’s mother Cilenis Marulanda and father Luis Manuel Diaz were taken by armed men as they were driving in La Guajira province on Saturday. Marulanda was freed within hours.
