US Troops Accused of Arming Colombian Death Squads
The Associated Press
Thursday 05 May 2005
Colombians may not be able to prosecute pair under treaty.
Carmen de Apicala, Colombia - Colombian police arrested two U.S.
soldiers for alleged involvement in a plot to traffic thousands of rounds of
ammunition - possibly to outlawed right-wing paramilitary groups,
authorities said today.
The two soldiers were detained during a raid Tuesday in a gated
community in Carmen de Apicala, 80 kilometres southwest of the capital and
near Colombia's sprawling Tolemaida airbase, where the detained soldiers
worked and where many U.S. servicemen are stationed.
National police Chief Gen. Jorge Daniel Castro said officers stopped a
suspicious man in the area, who offered a bribe to be allowed to go free.
Under threat of arrest, the man led the officers to a nearby house where
more than 40,000 rounds of ammunition for assault rifles, machine-guns and
pistols were found, officials said.

What shall we think of a government to which all the truly brave and just
men [and women] in the land are enemies, standing between it and those whom
it oppresses? A government that pretends to be Christian and crucifies a
million Christs every day!

How many of these soldiers do you think voted for Bush and the Republicans?

From the article:
It marks the latest U.S. embarrassment in this South American nation. On
March 29, five U.S. soldiers were arrested after 15 kilograms of cocaine was
found aboard a U.S. military plane that flew to El Paso, Texas, from the
Apiay airbase east of Bogota.
In the ammunitions case, a police registry identified the U.S.
servicemen only as Allam Tanquary and Jesus Hernandez. It was unclear
whether Allam was a misspelling. U.S. authorities did not provide names.
