Leftists have long held no qualms about assassination against their rivals, and in Colombia, where narcoterrorism is also a problem and left-narco alliances are common, it has started up again..
But at least we have a secretary of state who is wise to what's going on.
This week, Secretary of State Marco Rubio sent a high-level delegation to Bogota after a leading Colombian presidential candidate, conservative Sen. Miguel Uribe, died of his wounds in a June shooting by a criminal known as a 'sicario' or hitman who obviously had a sponsor.
Rubio seems to know who that might be, though, and has dialed up the pressure on the radical leftist in the presidential palace, Gustavo Petro, which tells us a lot about what he thinks is going on.
According to the expat-oriented City Paper of Bogotà, in a piece that ran two days ago, Rubio sent in his big guns to the funeral of the murdered conservative presidential candidate, Miguel Uribe -- dispatching Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau to interrupt his regularly scheduled trip there to lead a high powered delegation, which included GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno of Ohio, a Colombian-American whose Colombian brother used to run the Inter-American Development Bank, and who obviously, is very connected in Colombian power circles outside the far-left Petro government.
The City Paper noted:

The left seems to act in the same ways no matter what country they inhabit.
Bkmk
I wonder if they call their drug cartels ‘foundations’?
Maybe they call the cartels NGOs.
I have very old friends who were missionaries there for years.
Colombia is a very rough, dangerous place where the drug industry is very entrenched. Cleaning out the cartels and drug lords would need Divine Intervention.
Or ColombiaAID.
Leftists have long held no qualms about assassination against their rivals, and in Colombia,
or in America, where they tried to kill Trump at least twice.
They call it the “communist international” for a reason: their dreams of unaccountable and unlimited power know no limits. Borders to them are merely a legal construct.
Interesting Spinal Tap reference to “11”.
For about 15 years I used to spend 6+ months a year in Colombia so I’ve a bit of knowledge of the country. Most farc area were/are in the east and south.
The Indios are easy targets for terrorists and missionaries. Zero sympathy for the terrorists or the missionaries.
