Ecuador has urged the Organization of American States (OAS) to condemn Colombia for violating its territory.

Colombian forces killed senior Farc rebel commander Raul Reyes and 16 others inside Ecuador on Saturday.

At an emergency session of the OAS, Foreign Minister Maria Isabel Salvador said an apology would not suffice and demanded a full investigation.

Colombia's ambassador to the OAS, Camilo Ospina, denied there had been an incursion.

He said the Colombian army had fired at the Farc (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) camp from helicopters in Colombian airspace.

He reiterated that documents found at the camp linked both Ecuador and Venezuela to the Colombian rebel group.

The US representative, Robert Manzanares, supported Colombia's action, saying Farc was a threat to the whole region.
