Report alleges George W. Bush launched secret CIA programme that included "substantial eavesdropping help" from the NSA.
A secret CIA programme helped Colombia kill at least two dozen FARC leaders, The Washington Post has reported.
Washington's covert help in targeting Latin America's oldest insurgency, funded through a multibillion-dollar black budget, also includes "substantial eavesdropping help" from the National Security Agency, the newspaper said on Sunday.
The secret CIA programme - separate from the $9bn US aid package dubbed Plan Colombia, which launched in 2000 - was alleged to have been initially authorised by president George W. Bush around the same time.
It was thanks to US intelligence that the FARC number two, Raul Reyes, was found and killed in 2008, the report said.
