Iván Ríos (born José Juvenal Velandia; 19 December 1961 – 3 March 2008), also known as Manuel Jesús Muñoz Ortiz,[1][2][3] was head of the Central Bloc of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC-EP)[1] and the youngest member of this guerrilla's Central High Command.

Ríos was born in San Francisco, Putumayo, Colombia.[1][3]

Death

Ríos was killed by his security chief, Pablo Montoya, on 3 March 2008 in a mountainous area of the western department of Caldas.[4] Colombian military forces were involved in an operation to capture Ríos, when a FARC member calling himself "Rojas", on 6 March 2008, delivered a severed right hand, a laptop computer and an ID to the troops.[4] "Rojas" claimed that they belonged to Ríos, whom he described as his boss. Pablo Montoya claimed to have killed Ríos three days earlier.[4] Fingerprint results proved that the hand did belong to Ríos, resulting in the Colombian authorities going to recover the body.
