n attempt against US President Bush during his visit to Colombia last week, Colombian Defense Minister Jorge Uribe said. There was no evidence Saturday that rebels even tried to organize such an attack.

　　Uribe told reporters late Friday that informants said the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as the FARC, told followers to attack Bush during his four-hour visit in the seaside city of Cartagena last Monday, where he met with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.

　　The defense minister, who is no relation to the president, said security forces were on full alert during the visit. About 15,000 Colombian troops and police, along with U.S. troops and Secret Service agents provided security. There was no indication Bush's life was ever in danger.

　　Informant表示“提供消息或情报的人，告密者”，例如：The journalist did not want to reveal the identity of his informant.（那位新闻工作者不想透露消息提供人的身份。）此外，informant还表示“为语言学者提供语言或文化方面信息的说本地话的人”。

　　据悉，11月22日，布什前往卡塔赫纳与哥伦比亚总统乌里韦举行会晤，着重讨论了“哥伦比亚计划”的实施情况。布什强调，美国有必要在该计划框架内，继续支持哥伦比亚政府打击国内走私贩毒和反政府武装行动。
