11月11日，哥伦比亚考卡山谷省分别发生了两场种族仇杀，造成七人死亡。外电报道如下：Seven people were killed Wednesday in two separate vendettas in Colombia's western department of Valle del Cauca, police said Thursday.
         
        　　Police in Cali, provincial capital of Valle del Cauca, said both vendettas are between drug pushers and other criminal organizations.
         
        　　Vendetta表示“族间仇杀，世仇，宿怨”，由于该词往往意味着血腥屠杀和深仇大恨，有时也用作戏谑，例如：wage a personal vendetta against the Post Office（个人向邮局进行的长期斗争）。
