QUITO, Ecuador — Ecuador shook up its army and police leadership on Wednesday, the political fallout from a Colombian raid that shattered the president's trust in his security forces.

President Rafael Correa demanded the resignations of Defense Minister Wellington Sandoval and national police director Gen. Bolivar Cisneros in the intelligence and security purge. Two other top military commanders offered to resign on Wednesday.

The leftist president had even alleged that the CIA had infiltrated Ecuador's intelligence agencies -- and that top officials were more beholden to American spies than their own country.

Correa was outraged that military intelligence apparently advised Colombian officials -- but not him -- about an Ecuadorean man's contacts with Colombian rebels. The man was killed by the Colombian military in a cross-border raid last month on a camp maintained by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
