Chávez promised money and weapons to the FARC, former rebel says
Pablo Montoya, a demobilized member of the rebel Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC) who killed FARC leader Iván Ríos, said Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez vowed to deliver weapons and give money to the insurgent group.
Montoya, known as Rojas, told Colombian radio station Caracol in an interview aired on Monday that in talks he held with Iván Ríos he found out that the FARC top leader, Pedro Antonio Marín, alias Manuel Marulanda and Tirofijo, was very happy for the Venezuelan ruler's promise, Efe reported.
"The issue of the weapons is correct. Chávez promised weapons to Marulanda. He told him the weapons were not very good, but they could bear a war of guerrillas," he said.
Rojas turned himself to the Colombian Army after he killed José Juvenal Velandia or Manuel Jesús Muñoz Ortiz, the names of Iván Ríos. Rojas was Ríos' chief of security.
Among other things, Rojas claimed that another top member of the FARC Secretariat, Iván Márquez, is hiding in Venezuela, while Manuel Marulanda could also be in Venezuela, or in the Yarí plains, in a region of the Caquetá Department, south Colombia.
