Everything about Antonio Garc A totally explained

This page is about the Colombian guerilla. See also Antonio García López. Antonio García nom de guerre of Eliécer Erlington Chamorro Acosta, one of the main commanders of the Ejército de Liberación Nacional (usually abbreviated to ELN), or National Liberation Army.
   The ELN is a revolutionary, Marxist, insurgent guerrilla group that has been operating in several regions of Colombia since 1966. Less known than the FARC, it's estimated to be smaller, having between 3,500 to 5,000 men in arms. He is also placed in the 1948 Colombian violence called the Bogotazo, in which presidencial candidate Jorge Eliécer Gaitán was assassinated, apparently playing a far larger role than Fidel Castro there.
   It is said that Jacobo Arenas (the "nom de guerre" of Luis Morantes), a founder and ideological leader of the FARC-EP, was seen as hero by the ELN's Antonio García, who once would have stated in an interview to a Latin American journalist that he considered Arenas to be a hero, just as he considered Simón Bolívar, José Martí and Che Guevara to be heroes.
   On May 26, 2008 Ecuadorean and Colombian media reported the arrest of García in Ecuador. The Ecuadorean military said they "probably" did have him in custody, but needed to do more investigation to be sure. The arrest proved to be a mistake. The arrested guerrilla was identified as Willington Claro Arévalo, alias 'Antonio'.
