None
BOGOTA- Colombian military and police forces are searching for a Spanish journalist who disappeared while reporting a story in Norte de Santander province, the Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Military sources and local media feared Salud Hernandez, 59, who has worked in the country for almost two decades, could be in the custody of Marxist rebels operating in the area but the Colombian government would not say whether the case was a kidnapping and called it a "possible disappearance."
Hernandez, a journalist with Spain's El Mundo and local newspapers, was last seen on Saturday in the town of El Tarra in the northeastern province, along the border with Venezuela, the ministry said in a statement on Sunday.
