An imprisoned former military captain has accused his former commanders, under direct orders from former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe, of instructing him to carry out assassinations, local news website Las 2 Orillas reported.
During a candid interview, Captain Adolfo Enrique Guevara Cantillo, alias “101″, divulged information on assassinations — including those of false positives — he carried out during his military command as ordered by his superiors, including current commanders and former president Uribe who “dictated orders to assassinate.”
Guevara Cantillo, a former chief of intelligence in Colombia’s elite group against extortion and kidnapping (GAULA) in the northern state of Magdalena until 2004, revealed that from 1998 he was — as a member of the military — also an acting lieutenant in a paramilitary unit under the command of Rodrigo Tovar Pupo, alias “Jorge 40″ of the AUC.
Simultaneous Commander of Paramilitaries and National Military
“My commander 40 (Jorge 40) would send me his AUC troops, I would pass them off as military troops, and I would lead them into confrontations against the guerrillas,” Guevara Cantillo said, adding he acted with the full knowledge of his then commanders from the Colombian armed forces.
