Ecuadorean President Rafael CorreaFrom Reuters:
UNITED NATIONS, June 25 (Reuters) – Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa on Thursday denied published allegations his government has ties to Colombian leftist rebels, saying he will sue The Wall Street Journal for printing the story.
In a column published on June 22, Mary Anastasia O’Grady said she obtained fresh evidence taken from the seized computer of a slain rebel commander, Raul Reyes, that links Correa’s leftist government to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.
“We will sue this newspaper because we are sick of their lies,” Correa told reporters after addressing the U.N.
