Tension rising with Colombia

[Mark]

Ecuador is taking action against Colombia for trespassing its borders a few days ago to raid a FARC camp. Not only FARC leader Raúl Reyes was killed in that encounter but also 15 other members of the FARC. Ecuador has sent troops to the border today and closed their embassy in Bogota, the capital of Colombia.

On Sunday Venezuela sent troops to the border of Colombia and closed its embassy in Bogota after receiving the news.

In an attemp to justify its actions Colombia says that Ecuador doesn't patrol its borders allowing FARC members to launch attacks at Colombia at will.

For those of you traveling in the border area of Ecuador and Colombia please follow up on the latest news.

Best wishes,
