On March 1, 2008 the Colombian Armed Forces attacked a camp of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) located in the territory of Ecuador, killing a high-ranking leader, Raúl Reyes. As a result, the neighboring countries Venezuela and Ecuador publicly questioned the incursion into Ecuador, which ultimately led to the breaking of diplomatic ties. Additional circumstances surrounding the attack and the questionable presence of FARC guerrillas in Ecuador caused tension, as well as the discovery of alleged evidence on FARC computers, which link the governments of Ecuador and Venezuela to the guerrilla group.
