Prosecutors in Ecuador have said allegations that President Rafael Correa's election campaign accepted funds from Colombian rebels in 2006 will be investigated.

A London think tank said last week that there were links between between the Farc rebels and Mr Correa.

Their report was based on documents from the laptop of a Farc commander killed by Colombian troops in 2008.

Mr Correa denies having had any dealings with the left-wing rebels.
