	South America's cocaine output rose by 2% last year, bucking a five year downward trend as increases in Peru and Bolivia outpaced Colombia's clampdown on coca cultivation, a U.N. report showed Tuesday. The U.N.'s top counter-narcotics official blamed political unrest in Bolivia and lawlessness in two Peruvian regions for the increase in coca leaf cultivation and cocaine production there. | Antonia Priego, the 1st Vice President announced today that as a result of growing lawlessness and increased evidence of drug trafficking he will personally travel to the Northern Administrative Regions and take control of the National Guard units there. | BOGOTA, Colombia - Colombia's main leftist rebel group offered on Monday to swap three kidnapped American defense contractors for two guerrilla leaders jailed in the United States, but the U.S. government rejected the proposal. It was the first time the rebels have expressed a willingness to deal directly with U.S. authorities. U.S. officials said they would not negotiate with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as FARC, which the United States has blacklisted as a terrorist organization. | Colombian President Alvaro Uribe has flown to a south-western province to meet army commanders mounting a massive counterattack against Farc rebels. Mr Uribe travelled to the region a day after 25 Colombian soldiers died in two rebel attacks. The president ruled out any compromise with the left-wing rebels.
