Colombia Rebels Reach Cease-Fire Deal With Government. The rebels the headline refers to are the FARC, the world’s largest narco-terrorist organization.
In a joint statement, the two sides said that they had overcome some of the most intractable parts of a peace deal, which they have been negotiating in Havana since 2012.
In addition to a cease-fire, the rebels — known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or the FARC — agreed to lay down their arms.

The two sides said they would hold a ceremony in Havana on Thursday to mark the cease-fire, attended by Colombia’s president, Juan Manuel Santos, the FARC leader Rodrigo Londoño and other Latin American leaders.
As of the writing of this post, copies of the actual agreement are not available to the public.
