According to a report from Colombian intelligence services, published by the Colombian newspaper El Tiempo, at least four Venezuelan Bolivarian militias have links with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).

The investigations are based on a videotaped statement and on several interviews according to which the FARC have sought to influence for eight years "these militias." Intelligence sources said that there are several messages in the computers seized from the guerrilla deceased leader Raúl Reyes which "show how this relationship has evolved."

According to the report, the Bolivarian groups Carapaica, the Tupamaro Popular Resistance Group, the April 28th Movement, the Bolivarian Liberation Forces and the Cuban-Venezuelan Revolutionary Troop are mentioned in the alleged files.

There are messages which report on the establishment of "Popular Defense Groups" in Venezuela and their training plans, said the Colombian report.
