Soldier Luis Esteban Montes, 24, poses in uniform in Rionegro, Colombia, Monday, Oct. 27, 2008. According to Montes, in April 2007 some of his comrades from the Antelope Company of the 31st Rifle Batallion, 11th Brigade, 7th Division, where he was serving, killed his half brother to register him as a rebel slain in combat. Five of Montes' fellow soldiers now face a criminal probe in his brother's death, joining some 480 soldiers under investigation for about 1,000 extrajudicial killings during the presidency of President Alvaro Uribe. (AP Photo/Mauricio Builes, Revista Semana)AP – The soldiers in Antelope Company’s Third Platoon hadn’t registered a guerrilla kill in months. And without results, they feared they wouldn’t be let off base for Mother’s Day.
