U.S. Oil Workers Seized in Ecuador
The Associated Press
Thursday , October 12, 2000
QUITO, Ecuador –– An armed group seized a helicopter with 10
foreigners aboard from an oil field in the Amazon jungle
Thursday, Ecuador's vice president said.
Those kidnapped were six Americans, two Frenchmen, a Chilean and
an Argentine, military officials said.
Vice President Pedro Pinto told reporters "the kidnapping is
confirmed."
Pinto said Colombia's largest guerrilla organization the
Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia "have claimed
responsibility saying they carried out the kidnapping, in
reprisal for Plan Colombia." Plan Colombia is an anti-narcotics
initiative backed by a $1.3 billion U.S. aid package.
A military official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the
gunmen hijacked the Superpuma helicopter from the YPF oil field
at 4 a.m. in the El Coca region, about 100 miles northeast of the
capital, Quito.
Last September, another armed group seized oil workers and
several other people from an area north of the oil field where
Thursday's abduction took place. The last of those hostages were
freed months later, but it was never confirmed if a ransom was
paid and the kidnappers were not identified.
