BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombians rejoiced at the killing of topFARC rebel leader Alfonso Cano and hoped the biggest blow yet against Latin America's longest insurgency could herald an end to nearly five decades of war.

In a triumph for President Juan Manuel Santos' government, forces bombed a FARC jungle hideout in southwestern Cauca region on Friday, killing several rebels, officials said.

Troops then rappelled down from helicopters to search the area, killing the Marxist rebel boss in a gun battle.
