Mexico’s attorney general says investigators have found no evidence
that a Mexican student who survived a Colombian military raid on a FARC camp in Ecuador had ties to the guerrillas.
But Eduardo Medina said Monday the investigation of Lucia Morett remains open.
The March 1 cross-border attack killed Raúl Reyes, a top commander of the
leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and 24 others, including
four Mexican university students.
Morett is exiled in Nicaragua because of Mexico’s investigation. She
says she traveled to Ecuador only to learn about the guerrillas’
peace proposals.
Colombian President Álvaro Uribe said in April his government
suspected the Mexican students were rebel accomplices. Their families
deny that. (AP)
