Ecuador: US Aided Colombia in 2008 Attack
-----------------------------------------



Ecuador is accusing the US of involvement in Colombia’s 2008 attack on
FARC rebels in Ecuadorian territory. The cross-border bombing killed
more than twenty people, including civilians. In a new report, the
Ecuadorian government says US military officials helped plan the attack
from the Manta Air Base in Ecuador. Ecuador ended US operations at the
base earlier this year.
