‘Urabeños plotting to kill Colombia police generals’
written by Thomas Graham May 20, 2016
“Los Urabeños, ” Colombia’s largest neo-paramilitary group, plans to assassinate thirty top prosecution and police officials, including four generals, El Tiempo newspaper reported.
Unidentified sources told the newspaper that a secret informant, along with intercepted communications, helped them to arrest one capo and two assassins allegedly hired to kill key figures in a national offensive against the group.
The arrests led to the discovery of Urabeños’ alleged plan to strike back. Not only has the group stepped up assassinating low-ranking police officials, they allegedly also are targeting the very heads of Operation Agamenon, which seeks to locate and neutralize the Urabeños’ commander-in-chief “Otoniel.”
Operation Agamenon was set up in February 2015 and involves more than 1,250 policemen and army soldiers.
