Colombia votes for new president bbc.co.uk -- Colombians are voting for a new president in an election marred by escalating violence and threats of reprisals by left- and right-wing armed groups. More than 200,000 troops and police have been deployed to protect voters amid warnings that rebels attacks are likely. Casting his vote in Bogota, outgoing President Andres Pastrana - who is constitutionally barred from re-election - urged people to employ the weapon of democracy against violence.
