Bogota: Colombia said on Sunday documents found in a camp in Ecuador where Colombian troops killed a top guerrilla boss showed ties between the Farc rebels and Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa, including contacts with his government about political proposals.
Farc rebel commander Raul Reyes was killed inside Ecuador in a Colombian army operation that has fuelled tensions between Colombia and neighbours Venezuela and Ecuador.
Police Commander General Oscar Naranjo said documents found in computers belonging to Reyes showed contacts between a top Correa government minister and the Farc commander to discuss political proposals and projects on the frontier.
The raid has sparked a diplomatic crisis, with Ecuador and Venezuela sending troops to their frontiers with Colombia.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said a similar raid on his country would be a declaration of war.
