Should we move this article to Raúl Reyes perhaps? (With the accent)


Colombian Government just released report of events. He died this morning at 00:25 March 1. Accomplished with Colombian Air Force. Report indicates that Reyes was situated in an encampment on the ecuadorian side of the border. Colombian air forces attacked with care of not violating Ecuadorian air space. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.83.4.70 (talk) 15:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

At the section of Notable Personel, of FARC-EP, it says: Raul Reyes (KIA). This is not true. He was not killed in action. He was killed, but while he was sleeping, and there was no armed activity going on around the period of time when he was killed. He had been recently negotiating, and was involved in an ongoing process of humanitarian exchange. So there is no way he was KIA, he was just murdered.141.30.219.173 (talk) 21:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

That's one possible "moral" interpretation. In military terms, however, he was killed while serving as a member of an armed organization in a guerrilla base, in the context of an armed conflict, even if he wasn't specifically in combat at the time. Juancarlos2004 (talk) 21:50, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
