Colombia: The FARC's Low-Level Pipeline Campaign

Colombia's Cano Limon-Covenas oil pipeline was shut down because of attacks on June 21 and 22. Attacking pipelines has been a favorite tactic for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), and such attacks will continue both because of their political ramifications and because they keep authorities' attention on guarding pipelines instead of pursuing the FARC. The attacks pose little threat to Colombia's oil industry overall.
