Safe Haven No More: Ecuador Captures Top FARC leader.

Good News, the FARC are a terror group part drug dealers and their destruction is a good thing. As allies of Chavez their defeat can't come soon enough. Even more interesting is the fact that Ecuador captured him, for a time the FARC were using Ecuador as a safe haven until Columbia launched an attack that smashed the groups base there. Perhaps the terror group is so weak that governments that had turned a blind eye or perhaps even encouraged their crimes are turning on them?

(CNN) — Authorities in Ecuador say they have captured a top guerrilla leader belonging to the Marxist FARC group from neighboring Colombia, news outlets reported Wednesday.

Ecuadorian National Police Chief Jaime Hurtado told reporters that officials are nearly 100 percent certain that the man captured in a recent drug raid is Sixto Antonio Cabana Guillen, a leader for the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known by its Spanish acronym FARC.

Officials are waiting for verification from Interpol, the international police agency, said Caracol Radio and El Tiempo newspaper in Colombia and El Diario Hoy newspaper in Ecuador.

The man, who was using the name Mario Domingo Guerrero Biojo, was captured last week in a drug bust in Esmeraldas Province, on the border with Colombia, the news outlets reported. He is being held in Quito, Ecuador’s capital, pending positive identification.


Will they hand him over to Columbia?
