BOGOTA, March 3 (Reuters) - Colombia will not send extra troops to its frontiers with Venezuela and Ecuador after its neighbors increased their military presence on borders after the killing of a top rebel inside Ecuador, the government said on Monday.

But Colombia is concerned about possible agreements between Colombian FARC rebels and Ecuador and Venezuela, a presidential spokesman said in a televised statement. (Reporting by Patrick Markey in Bogota)
