Libyan rebels are receiving reports that female snipers from Colombia (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/colombia/) have joined other mercenaries fighting to keep dictator Moammar Gadhafi (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/muammar-al-gaddafi/) in power.
No Colombians have been captured or killed, but rebels this week said they have received accounts of their deadly marksmanship from pro-Gadhafi (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/muammar-al-gaddafi/) prisoners and from eyewitnesses in the besieged city Misurata, the largest city in western Libya (http://www.washingtontimes.com/topics/libya/) still under partial rebel control.
Rebel sources said the Colombians are part of a wider force of snipers firing from vantage points atop buildings in Misurata.

Columbian Amazons? This reminds me of all the African and South American Civil Wars where Cuban mercenaries, (military advisers) were prominetly involved in the training of communist guerrillas.
