REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, HAVANA -- Colombia's FARC guerrilla group on Wednesday accused former president Alvaro Uribe of being behind alleged spying on peace negotiators by an army intelligence unit.

The alleged spying was revealed Tuesday by the weekly Semana, prompting the firing of two military intelligence chiefs.

Among those allegedly spied on was President Juan Manuel Santos'negotiating team at peace talks with the FARC in Havana.

In ordering a probe, Santos said "dark forces" were trying to sabotage the peace talks, but was not more specific.

However, the FARC's chief negotiator at the talks, Ivan Marquez, pointed the finger at Uribe, a hardliner who has bitterly opposed the peace talks.

"Alvaro Uribe is behind this," he told reporters before going into talks here.

"Don't forget Alvaro Uribe Velez is public enemy number one of peace in Colombia," he said.

Marquez said spying was targeted the FARC's delegation to the talks, and said the government should explain.
