Colombia Faces Military Border Blockade from Venezuela and Ecuador

Venezuela and Ecuador were today seeking to increase pressure on Colombia over a controversial military raid, as the region's most perilous crisis for years developed into a test of diplomatic strength between their leftwing governments and the heavily US-backed administration in Bogotá.

Colombia, which faces thousands of freshly mobilised troops on its borders with both Ecuador to the south and Venezuela to the north, has attracted widespread regional condemnation for Saturday's bombing raid on a rebel camp one mile inside Ecuadorean territory.
