BOGOTA, March 2 (Reuters) - Colombia's government said on Sunday documents found in a jungle camp in Ecuador where Colombia troops killed a top guerrilla commander showed ties between the FARC rebels and Ecuador's President Rafael Correa.

FARC rebel commander Raul Reyes was killed inside Ecuador in an operation that has fueled tensions between Colombia and neighbors Venezuela and Ecuador.

"In the belongings of Raul Reyes found by the police and the Colombian forces were three computers ... in the next few minutes Police Commander Gen. Oscar Naranjo will show document found in those computers which show evidence that the president of Ecuador, President Correa, has relations with the FARC," a presidential spokesman told reporters.
