BOGOTA, Sha'ban 17, 1437, May 24, 2016, SPA -- Two journalists have gone missing in Colombia's northeast conflict zone while covering the disappearance of a Spanish reporter feared kidnapped this weekend, the government said on Tuesday, according to Reuters. Television news channel Noticias RCN said in a statement there had been "a possible kidnapping" of a reporter and a cameraman in Norte de Santander province, near the border with Venezuela. The reporter is Diego D'Pablos and cameraman is Carlos Melo. The journalists were in El Tarra municipality to cover the disappearance of fellow reporter Salud Hernandez, who writes for Spain's El Mundo and local newspapers, who was last seen in the area on Saturday. The heads of the army and the police will go to the province to direct search operations for Hernandez and the other journalists, President Juan Manuel Santos said on Tuesday. Three other reporters in the region to cover Hernandez's disappearance were briefly held by armed men who identified themselves as members of the National Liberation Army (ELN) rebel group, before being released. --SPA 22:54 LOCAL TIME 19:54 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
