Mexico City - As the Mexican government pursues two investigations into the links between Mexico and Colombia's FARC rebels, a Mexican student who survived a Colombian forces attack on a FARC camp in the South American jungle has requested "political refuge" in Ecuador.

Lucia Morett, 26, was one of the three survivors in the March 1 attack on a Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, camp that sparked one of the region's worst diplomatic crisis in years.

Pamela Davis, an activist for the Latin American Human Rights Association, which represents Morett, told reporters in Quito Thursday that the request for political refugee status was for "protection" for Morett and the two other survivors, both Colombians, until it is clear they will not face prosecution of any type.

Four Mexican students were among the approximately 20 dead rebels in the attack that also killed FARC's deputy commander, Raul Reyes. He was one of the highest FARC leaders to be killed by Colombian forces.

I think what you will be seeing more and more happen over the coming years, is that Mexicanos/as are going to be found aquiring military training in foreign places, in particular "guerrilla skills". Mexico is slowly picking up steam in the direction of internal armed conflict. How many guerrilla groups in Mexico now? I think the last count was like 17, no?
