Re: R.I.P RAUL REYES
Raul Reyes Biography Raúl Reyes whose full name is Luis Edgar Devia Silva was born on September 30, 1948. When he was 16 year old, he joined JUCO – Colombian Communist Youth Organization. Few years later he joined FARC and was accused of trafficking cocaine to the United States and other countries. As his influences grew, Raul Reyes got involved in murders of hundreds of people who opposed FARC or interfered with its drug trafficking. Raul Reyes is also believed to have participated or masterminded several kidnappings, including kidnapping of nine tourists and hundreds of Colombian civilians. Each member of FARC including Raul Reyes would have participated in number of bombings and town massacres. Raul Reyes was sentenced in absence to death by the Colombian government for plethora of crimes, including the following: •deaths of 13 policemen •deaths of 18 soldiers •death of a judge •death of a physician •deaths of 3 members of jury •death of Consuelo Araújo, Colombian ex-minister of Culture •deaths of 11 members of Valle del Cauca department assembly •deaths of Diego Turbay and his wife – Colombian congressman appointed to negotiate an end to Colombia’s civil war •death of Guillermo Gaviria – governor of Antioquia •death of Isaías Duarte – catholic priest •death of Gilberto Echeverri – the Colombian ex-minister •death of 36 people who died during bombing of Club El Nogal in Bogotá •18 kidnappings, including the kidnapping and death of Cecilia Cubas, daughter of the ex-president of Paraguay yea umm errr, R.I.P Raul Reyes ,poor guy (not) Raul Reyes was killed on March 1, 2009 presumably by stepping on a landmine he planted. While he was still alive, the US Department of State offering $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest. Interpol had Raul Reyes on its red list. Since it was an air strike that prompted Raul Reyes to run through the jungle in the middle of the night, it may have been the bomb dropped by the Colombian army that killed him. It may have been his own land mine, but nobody really knows for sure. Something ripped him apart, something that explodes. It doesn’t matter, Raul Reyes is dead. While his death was a heavy blow to FARC, they are far from done. However Colombian government is definitely few steps ahead of the game, since when dead body of Raul Reyes found, there were also three laptops near by with extensive information about the connections and operations of FARC.  · |

Re: R.I.P RAUL REYES
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People's Army (Spanish: Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo), also known by the acronym of FARC or FARC-EP, which has proclaimed itself as a revolutionary agrarian, anti-imperialist Marxist-Leninist organization of Bolivarian inspiration. It claims to represent the rural poor in a struggle against Colombia’s wealthier classes, and opposes United States influence in Colombia (e.g. Plan Colombia), neo-imperialism, monopolization of natural resources by multinational corporations, and paramilitary/government violence. It funds itself principally through ransom kidnappings and taxation of the illegal drug trade.
