Colombia's national army has a new weapon in its war against the rebels - a large inflatable soldier. The grinning figure, dressed in army camouflage uniform, is part of a campaign to encourage locals to provide information on rebel activities in their area.

The new recruit made his first publicised appearance at an army checkpoint on the main road from Bogota.

It is an area of land that the army has just recently taken from the FARC, Colombia's main left-wing guerrilla group.
