BOGOTA, Colombia (CNN) — The Colombian defense minister said Sunday that
a military raid that killed about two dozen Colombian rebels in Ecuadoran
territory also killed a citizen of Ecuador.

The news came a day after President Rafael Correa of Ecuador said it
would be an “extremely grave” development to learn of the “murder” of an
Ecuadoran citizen by foreign troops.

“When it is confirmed, we will take appropriate action,” the president
said in a statement on his Web site.

Ecuador cut diplomatic relations with Colombia after Colombian soldiers
and police bombed a site just inside Ecuadoran territory March 1. The attack
killed the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or
FARC.
