BOGOTA: Colombia’s armed forces will launch air raids on crime gangs involved in drug trafficking and illegal mining, the defense minister said on Friday, as the government steps up its offensive against what it considers the biggest threat to national security.
President Juan Manuel Santos authorized bombing raids on the gangs, which formed after a 2006 peace accord with right-wing paramilitary fighters failed to absorb many into society.
There are about 3,000 members spread across three groups earning millions of dollars from illegal ***** and mining.
"This will allow the application of the entire force of the state, without exception, against organized armed groups, against powerful mafias, against those that launch hostile actions against institutions and the population, against those that have camps, long-range *******, and uniforms," Defence Minister Luis Carlos Villegas said during a military event.
The government was previously prevented from taking such action against crime gangs because it was **t proven that they used automatic *******.
Air raids have been the most powerful offensive against insurgent groups like the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army, leading to the deaths of many of their most feared commanders.
