Senator wants to see Colombian rebel's laptops

From Times Staff and Wire Reports
May 20, 2008
Sen. Richard G. Lugar (R-Ind.) proposed congressional hearings to examine the contents of laptop computers apparently owned by a Colombian rebel commander known as Raul Reyes.

The computers were recovered by Colombian commandos in Ecuador after Reyes, the No. 2 commander of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, was killed in a March 1 bombing raid.

 
    The Colombian government has leaked files that it said indicate Venezuela made offers of financial, political and arms help to the FARC, which the U.S. views as a terrorist group.

    No independent confirmation of the laptops' content has been made, and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has denied the Colombian charges.
