In the predawn hours of March 1st, Colombian forces invaded and bombed Ecuador and killed at least 20 members of the rebel group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (FARC), including leader and international spokesperson Raul Reyes.

A Colombian defense minister told Agence France Presse that the murder of Raul Reyes was only possible through the intelligence work done by the United States – enabling the location of Raul Reyes to be pinpointed . . .
