2008-03-04 |
![]() Amorim also said the Colombian government should offer an "explicit" apology to contain the growing crisis prompted by the weekend raid, in which Colombian forces struck at a FARC rebel camp inside Ecuador. He called for the Organization of American States (OAS) regional body to set up a committee to investigate the circumstances of the attack, which included air strikes and ground combat. Senior FARC leader Raul Reyes was killed. |

#1 "The territorial violation is very serious and needs to be condemned," Yeah, but what about the "killed a murderous asshat" part? That seems like cause for celebration. |
