Colombia's defense minister leaves evidence of orchestrating terrorism online


by Adriaan Alsema September 13, 2020

Colombia's defense minister forgot to get rid of evidence proving he personally coordinated the Bogota Massacre in which police murdered seven people and injured at least 72 on Wednesday and Thursday.

Defense Minister Carlos Holmes Trujillo said on Wednesday evening he was in charge of the security forces while police were carrying out what Bogota Mayor Claudia Lopez called "an authentic massacre."

Evidence of state terror campaign left on social media
Evidence that far-right President Ivan Duque 's chief of staff Diego Molano, Vice-Interior Minister Daniel Palacios, Armed Forces commander Luis Navarro and acting National Police director General Gustavo Moreno were with Trujillo during the massacre was later found online.

The defense minister was called to Congress on Saturday, but that would be the least of his worries.
