1. (S) Colombian PolOff Raul Sanchez advised PolOff that the 
GOC wants the GOP to publicize as much information as 
possible regarding the FARC's involvement in the Cecilia 
Cubas kidnapping and other crimes in Paraguay, prior to 
President Uribe's meeting with President Chavez next week. 
The Colombian Embassy is urging Attorney General Oscar 
Latorre to release information regarding email communication 
between recently captured FARC leader Rodrigo Granda and 
Patria Libre party members Osmar Martinez and Anuncio Marti 
(reftels), including an email address believed to be 
Granda's, but not the content of email messages.  According 
to Sanchez, Latorre plans to release the information around 
noon on February 10. 
 
2. (S) Sanchez added that the Colombian Ambassador in 
Paraguay will ask Ambassador Keane to seek Embassy Bogota's 
assistance in convincing Colombian intelligence services to 
increase their focus on FARC activity in Paraguay.
