The operation was carried out on Saturday night in the urban center of Tibú where the FARC dissident leader was operating. Colombian media point to “Roque” as the main figure of the urban patrols of this insurgent group.
The death of alias “Roque” occurs after Diego Molano confirmed that, through the so-called “Operation Jupiter”, they killed the FARC dissident guerrilla leader Néstor Gregorio Vera, alias “Iván Mordisco”, with what they claim to have hit accurate at the head of that insurgent group.
Molano recalled that “Iván Mordisco” did not enter the peace agreements signed in Havana and that he had already become a “scourge” for the southern part of Colombia due to the number of crimes he committed in the departments of Caquetá, Guaviare, Vichada, Meta and Putumayo. In his opinion, what he wanted was to refound the FARC and have about eight thousand men under his charge.
