Ecuador: Mexicans were not Guerrillas

Mexico, Apr 17 (Prensa Latina) Ecuadorian Vice President Lenin Moreno rejected the fact that Mexican young people who died in the Colombian attack to Ecuadorian national territory on March 1st were regarded as guerrillas, just as the Colombian government is trying to make people believe.

Moreno took part in a UN regional conference on the rights of disabled people Thursday and make strongly critical statements on the recent statements of Colombian President Alvaro Uribe when he accused those Mexican young people of drug-trafficking.

"Uribe also accused those people of terrorism and he is trying to find a justification to what is unjustifiable. The Ecuadorian government has no information that the deceased Mexican people and survivor Lucia Morett have been guerrillas," he stated.

He pointed out all of them were having a little time in Ecuador, and the work they were doing was basically on research.
