FARC Leader Ivan Rios Killed

Another senior Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FRAC) leader was killed Friday. Colombia government officials say Ivan Rios was killed in western Colombia near the capital of Bogota.

Rios, whose real name is Manuel Munoz Ortiz, died during an operation by the army and the ministry’s Technical investigation Corps. He is the second rebel leader to be killed this past week. Last Saturday, leader Raul Reyes died in Ecuador after a raid was ordered.

 

“We can confirm that Ivan Rios, a member of the FRAC’s secretariat, died in this operation by the army and the CTI,” said a Colombia official.
