FARC

FARC is a guerrilla organization, self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninist, established as the military wing of the Colombian Communist Party. After the Colombian military killed Raúl Reyes, FARC's international spokesman and considered to be FARC's second-in-command. He was killed inside Ecuador's territory along with at least 16 of his fellow guerrillas, leading to a breakdown in diplomatic relations between Ecuador and Colombia, and between Venezuela and Colombia -- But that's not all. It has been reported that captured documents revealed a lot about Venezuela's hand in funding FARC that Cesar Chavez probably didn't want to be public.

Colombia accuses Chavez of funding Farc

President Alvaro Uribe of Colombia said today he would denounce his Venezuelan counterpart, Hugo Chavez, in an international court for allegedly funding the leftwing rebel group at the centre of the regional military crisis.

The move increased the tension triggered by Colombia’s weekend raid inside Ecuador to kill a leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc), which today saw Venezuela close its border with Colombia as the three neighbours edged closer to war.

Colombian officials claim the raid netted records showing that Mr Chavez, a left-wing firebrand, secretly provided the group with $300 million to wage their armed campaign against the Caracas government.

Mr Uribe said he had ordered his envoy at the United Nations to ask the International Criminal Court “to try Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, for sponsorship and financement of genocides."

Captured documents also reveal that FARC was working on a dirty nuke. Communists always work together.
