PANAMA CITY, Panama -- Six Colombian rebels attacked a Panamanian police patrol in the waters off Panama's border with Colombia, the president's office said Saturday. One officer and three guerrillas were wounded.

The suspects, identified as members of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, were taken into custody, the office said in a news release.

Three were under guard at a local hospital -- two with "serious" gunshot wounds -- and the others were taken to a Panama City prison.
