SOC-COPAM-COLOMBIA-SECURITY

Colombian police inspect soccer fans at one of the entrances of the Roberto Melendez stadium in Barranquilla, Colombia, 14 July 2001, during the Copa America soccer tournament. In June, the South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) insisted the tournament would kick-off in Colombia as planned, despite an upsurge in bombings and violence across the host nation. Although left-wing rebels in Colombia had indicated the tournament would not be targeted, fears over security reached boiling point when Colombian Football Federation vice-president Hernan Mejia Campuzano was kidnapped.
