In a communique Sunday, leftist guerrillas of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, said the plane was hijacked by Venezuelan dissidents opposed to President Hugo Chavez. The rebels said they came across the aircraft after hijackers abandoned it on a clandestine landing strip in the jungle. (AP Photo/Pedro Gomez, De Frente)
