Bogotá, Colombia
Local media reported that authorities are investigating whether the strike killed Antonio Medina, a high-ranking rebel commander responsible for a bloody war between ex-FARC fighters and the National Liberation Army (ELN) guerrilla group.
The Colombian military had this week carried out airstrikes in the Amazon region, killing 19 members of an ex-FARC splinter group.
Colombia’s leftist president had been facing pre-election criticism and US sanctions for his alleged reluctance to target armed cocaine-trafficking groups.
In October, Washington slapped unprecedented sanctions on Petro, his wife, son, and a top aide, accusing them of enabling drug cartels.
The US government provided no evidence linking Petro directly to drug trafficking.
Petro had previously opted to engage well-armed cocaine-producing groups in talks, rather than conduct open warfare, since he took power in 2022.
He is constitutionally barred from running for president again, but the criticism risks damaging his political allies during next year’s elections.

Hola, llevaba tiempo intentando ahorrar para un portátil potente y cada mes surgía algún gasto nuevo que me dejaba sin avance, hasta que un colega me mencionó de pasada rodeoslot y entré por curiosidad a ver qué tal era para jugadores de la región Español. Probé una tragaperras clásica y comencé con varias rondas malas, pero cuando subí un poco la apuesta apareció una combinación que me dio un premio grande que no esperaba. Esa subida me acercó por fin a mi meta y por eso lo recomiendo.
