Interpol backs Colombia in case of rebel laptop

Interpol said Thursday it found no evidence of tampering in computers Colombia says it seized from a slain leftist rebel. The finding discredits Venezuelan assertions that the files are bogus and gives Colombia the international backing it sought.
The forensic study by the France-based international police agency could increase pressure on Venezuela's socialist government to explain evidence that it was helping to finance and arm the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.
Colombia said its commandos recovered the computers from the rubble of a rebel camp across the border in Ecuador destroyed March 1 by Colombian forces. FARC foreign minister Raul Reyes and 24 others were killed in the raid.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has called the documents fakes, consistently referring to 'the supposed computer of Raul Reyes.' He denies arming or funding the FARC, though he openly sympathizes with Latin America's most powerful rebel army.

  1. If anyone pays much attention to what INTERPOL says, they have to immediately seek psychiatric help. Otherwise it might be too late.

    Interpol like the European Union is under the control of the U.S. so do not expect them to mete out justice. They only carry out orders given to them by George W. Bush
