A Colombian army general and an intelligence chief were suspended on Thursday following allegations they leaked sensitive information to a guerrilla leader, the attorney general’s office said.

The Caracol TV network on Sunday published messages and documents appearing to show General Juan Manuel Huertas and National Intelligence Directorate official Wilmar Mejia sharing information with a rebel leader, which allowed him to evade security controls and procure weapons.

The pair are under investigation.
