Correa: Ecuador Would React
to Future Attacks
QUITO - Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa
warned that they do not rule out the
possibility of using their military forces,
if Colombian army attack them again, as in
Angostura, Ecuadorian media highlights on
Tuesday.
In Caracas, Venezuela, Correa rejected
flatly the statements of the Colombian
presidential candidate, Juan Manuel Santos,
who was the Minister of Defense when the
border area of Angostura was bombed in March
1, 2008.
During a televised debate with other
Colombian presidential candidates, Santos
said that he was proud of his decision and
added that maybe they would organize another
extra-territorial attack again.
Correa told to Telesur and Orinoco's daily
that the logistics and communications of the
Ecuadorian army were insufficient and radars
did not work, as they were attacked at close
range. And added that the army has overcome
those deficiencies and it is ready to
respond if Ecuador is attacked again.
