Bogota - Information found in Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) computers belonging to the late Colombian rebel leader Raul Reyes has not been manipulated or modified by external actors, Interpol said Thursday in Bogota.
Interpol was examining the authenticity of three computers found at a FARC camp on Ecuadorian soil where Colombian forces killed Reyes - the rebel group's number two ranking leader - and some 20 other rebels on March 1.
Interpol General Secretary Ronald Noble did not comment on the contents of the computers, which according to the Colombian government link the governments of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa with rebel activity.
Colombian officials have charged among other things that Chavez gave 300 million dollars to FARC, citing evidence found on the computers. The computers also yielded evidence that FARC had traded 50 kilogrammes of uranium and sent illegal drugs to Mexico, according to Colombian officials.
FARC is the largest rebel group in Colombia and holds over 700 hostages, including former presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt.
