Colombia ELN rebels 'displayed solider's leg as trophy'
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-32666472The Colombian government has accused the leftist ELN rebel group of displaying the severed leg of a soldier as a war trophy.
Edward Avila lost both legs after he stepped on a land mine on Wednesday outside a village school.
One of the legs was later found attached to the school fence in Norte de Santander province.
"The ELN atrocity has brought shame and pain to all Colombians," President Juan Manuel Santos wrote on Twitter.
