Documents seized by Colombian armed forces in a March 1 raid on a rebel base in neighboring Ecuador indicate that the administration of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela was actively involved in aiding the rebels. During the raid, which resulted in the deaths of 25 suspected FARC guerrillas, a computer and several external memory devices were found. E-mails found on the devices indicate that Venezuela was planning on supplying the insurgents with cash and weapons. The governments of Venezuela and Colombia have been at odds for some time. A report is due soon from Interpol in regards to the authenticity of the documents. If they are proven genuine, it will be difficult for Colombia to ignore what is essentially an act of war by Venezuela.
