Colombia has sent a copy of a video, in which a leftist rebel says the guerrillas supported the presidential campaign of Ecuadorean leader Rafael Correa, to the OAS and Interpol, the government said on Sunday.Correa says the video is a setup and has denied receiving any funds from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC. Friday's release of the video, in which a top rebel chief says the FARC gave money to Correa's campaign, has heightened tensions between the the Andean neighbors.
"Colombia has handed the material over to the Organization of American States (OAS) to analyze the situation and act according to its mandate," Colombian presidential spokesman Cesar Velasquez told Reuters.
The OAS is a hemispheric pro-democracy body. Velasquez said a copy of the tape was also handed over to Interpol.
