Quito - Ecuadorian Government Minister
Gustavo Jalkh announced on Friday the
creation of an independent fact-finding
committee to investigate what happened in
the Colombian bombing of northern Angostura.
The "Accountability Committee" will be made
up of five members of different sectors,
with no political affiliation, said Jalkh in
a press conference.
He explained that these people must be
appointed by universities, the Episcopal
Conference, Protestant churches, the media,
indigenous peoples, social movements and
non-active duty members of the Armed Forces.
They will have all support needed to carry
out their work, have access to information
and economic resources, he added.
We want this Committee to probe into all
aspects related to the Colombian attack of
March 1st 2008 in Angostura, where a
clandestine camp of the Revolutionary Armed
Forces of Colombia (FARC) was located.
At least 25 people were killed in the
attack, including FARC guerrilla Raul Reyes,
four Mexicans and one Ecuadorian.
