At least 20 oil workers have been abducted by suspected guerrillas in a remote jungle region of eastern Colombia.
The local workers for the Canadian oil exploration firm Talisman are thought to have been seized by the Farc rebel group, which has a strong presence in the area in Vichada Department.
They are reported to have been taken deeper into the jungle in canoes.
Colombian troops have been sent to try to find them.
