Insufficient credible information for comment at this time.

I would not consider selling vegetables to the FARC a capital offense, to be honest. Still, the circumstances matter, and is the reason the statement that I made was a conditional one.

if the Colombians killed an innocent Ecuadoran

It isn't apparent from the article how true the "innocent" part is. If the man was in the FARC camp then he is no innocent, even if he was selling them vegetables. He chose to do business with political bandits. If he was killed elsewhere then there is an issue, but there sure has been a considerable delay from the event to the accusation.

I have never understood the Latin American histrionics.
