The report said various houses and businesses in Mexico City, including a car dealership, were used for FARC activities. Mexicans were recruited to FARC "schools," the report said, and some become guerrillas.
Mexican officials have often linked the FARC to Mexican drug trafficking groups.
In an open letter to the daily newspaper La Jornada, a group of more than 30 friends of Morett sought to squelch any notion that she was involved in illegal activities or was a guerrilla.
Morett "has a life as an actress in Mexico City," they wrote, and "studied dramatic literature and theater" at the university.
"She is working on her thesis and has nothing to do with the Colombian guerrillas or drug dealers," the letter said.
In a television interview from Ecuador, Morett talked only about the attack, a series of explosions that shook her from her sleep.
"I could hear planes, helicopters, and they started to bomb us," she said.
She heard gunfire and another round of exploding bombs.
"I didn't move, but when I realized I was wounded, I dragged myself away," she said.
Killed in the raid were Raul Reyes, the nom de guerre of the No. 2 commander of the FARC, and 16 other people. Colombia said the rebels, blamed for widespread extortions and kidnappings in Colombia, were operating in Ecuador with the consent of local authorities.
Ecuador responded to the attack by expelling Colombian diplomats, a measure also taken by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Ecuador and Venezuela have deployed troops to the Colombian border.
At the Autonomous University, student groups said they planned a demonstration outside the Colombian Embassy today in support of Morett.
Ten campus groups signed a letter in her behalf Wednesday, including the Karl Marx Collective and the Revolutionary Brigade for Anti-Capitalist Unity.
