Marxist FARC rebels have been firing across the border from Ecuador into Columbia so yesterday, Columbian troops responded by attacking a FARC jungle camp in Ecuador. In the process they "killed Raul Reyes, a leader of Marxist FARC rebels."
According to the Intelligence Encyclopedia, "FARC is responsible for bombings, murder, kidnapping, extortion, hijacking, as well as guerrilla and conventional military action against Colombian political, military, and economic targets." They are also involved in illegal drug trafficing and have kidnapped Americans.
Today, siding with FARC, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez withdrew his diplomats from Columbia, sent 10 tank battalions to the Columbian border and mobilized his air force (Washington Post).
This is the same Hugo Chavez, by the way, that has been supported by numerous Democrats and Hollywood Leftists.
