Colombian Military Chief Resigns
--------------------------------



In Colombia, the commander of the Colombian military has resigned over a
scandal linking his forces to the killings of scores of innocent
civilians. General Mario Montoya steps down just one week after the
firing of more than two dozen senior officers. A government probe found
the military responsible for the disappearances of innocent civilians
whose bodies were recently uncovered in a mass grave.
