Colombia Resumes Peace Talks with FARC

Colombia says it will resume peace talks with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.

The talks with the rebels will re-open Monday in Havana.

The negotiations were suspended Friday when FARC said it would need time to study the government's draft bill that would require any peace deal with the guerrillas to be put to a popular vote.

The FARC, the oldest active guerrilla army in the Western Hemisphere, is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and European Union.
