“’Farc rebels’ arrested in Ecuador”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Ecuador says it has arrested five alleged members of the Colombian rebel group Farc inside its territory.
Defence Minister Gustavo Larrea said the suspected rebels were detained by the army during a search of farms and houses close to the Colombian border.

It comes amid a growing crisis over a Colombian raid inside Ecuador in which a senior Farc leader was killed.

On Thursday Nicaragua said that like Venezuela and Ecuador it was breaking diplomatic relations with Colombia.

Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega said “we are breaking off relations because of the political terrorism” carried out by Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.

He made the announcement in the Nicaraguan capital, Managua, with Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa at his side.

Mr Correa is on a tour of Latin American capitals to rally opposition to Colombia’s cross-border raid on Saturday.”
