Another Dutch FARC soldier

It turns out there's another Dutch girl fighting for the Colombian guerrilla group FARC, besides Tanja Nijmeijer. The woman's code name is Alexandra and she works as a translater for the senior FARC commander Mono Jojoy, according to a story in El Tiempo newspaper.

El Tiempo got the information from two 17-year-old guerrilla fighters who recently deserted. The two girls claimed to have met Alexandra as well as Tanja, which means the Dutch girl whose diary was found last year after a military raid is still alive.

If you read Dutch, there's more on my other blog.
