Minister Molano spoke
Faced with the facts, Defense Minister Diego Molano, in conversation with Blu Radio, stated that “in this area of the country, the dissidents commanded by ‘Gentil Duarte’ operate and seek to affect this region of the country. The device was activated against that mototaxi and affected the civilians who were nearby.
All solidarity with the families of the victims of the terrorist attack in Cartagena del Chairá, Caquetá.
It was an insane act that affected civilians. The criminal structure ‘Jorge Briceño Suárez’ of the Farc dissidents would be guilty of the reprehensible fact. pic.twitter.com/MhgQu153vC
