Rafael Correa took money from FARC terrorist group.

Last year Colombia pointed out after killing a top FARC leader that documents proved Correa had terrorist support from FARC. Correa said they were false, now the AP has video of the #2 commander in FARC acknowledging the contributions.

The Associated Press has obtained a video that appears to dispel any doubts that Colombia's main rebel army gave money to the 2006 election campaign of President Rafael Correa of Ecuador.

The hour-long video was found by police who arrested an alleged FARC operative in May. In it, the No. 2 commander of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia reads the deathbed manifesto of founding leader Manuel Marulanda.

The manifesto clearly acknowledges FARC contributions to Correa's campaign.

The video was given to the AP on condition it not reveal the source. It adds weight to evidence from documents recovered last year at a FARC camp.
