The leader of Colombia’s ELN guerrilla group admitted on Saturday that the group made a “mistake” in kidnapping the father of Liverpool footballer Luis Diaz last week, and vowed to work for his release. “The retention of Luis Diaz’s father by the Northern War Front (editor’s note, a unit of the group) was a mistake,” wrote Antonio Garcia, commander of the ELN (National Liberation Army), on his Telegram channel. “Lucho is a symbol of Colombia, that’s what we think of him in the ELN,” he added, using the nickname of Diaz, 26, who has made 11 appearances this season with Liverpool and scored three goals.
