20 members of a guerrilla group have been killed in military raids in Colombia, the country's President Abelardo de la Espriella said.

According to de la Espriella, one of those killed was a high-ranking member of the guerrilla group and close to the country's most wanted guerrilla leader, Iván Mordisco.

Five people were arrested in connection with the raids on Monday morning, local time.

de la Espriella was elected on the promise of fighting "narco-terrorism without a ceasefire", with both the military and mega-prisons. He took office in August.
