The popular magazine Semana said documents discovered on the laptop computer of slain Colombian rebel leader Raul Reyes showed his Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, considered donating the money ahead of Correa's 2006 election, The Miami Herald reported Monday. It was not clear if any money was indeed sent to the Ecuadorian leader's campaign on behalf of FARC.

The rebel group and Reyes were at the center of a diplomatic firestorm last week when Colombian forces entered Ecuadorian territory to kill the leader and 16 other FARC members.
