Colombian President Álvaro Uribe Tuesday said he would not grant any delegate of the rebel Colombian Revolutionary Armed Force permit to travel to Caracas to attend a meeting with Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, but showed certainty that they "would find a way to get there," AFP reported.

"When in the world have these 'little angels of God' called for permission? President Chávez and I have talked about this. The FARC will find a way to get there," Uribe told private radio station RCN.

Chávez, who is acting as a mediator to achieve a swap of hostages held by FARC for FARC rebels in jail, expects to meet in Caracas with guerrilla leaders next October 8. A few days later, the Venezuelan ruler plans to meet with this Colombian counterpart, seeking a rapprochement between the parties.
