Colombia: 'Some mercenaries knew about plot to assassinate Haiti leader'

by Adriaan Alsema July 16, 2021

Colombia’s President Ivan Duque said Thursday that some of the mercenaries implicated in the assassination of Haiti’s head of state knew about the plot.

In an interview with W Radio, Duque said that investigations indicate that all of the private security contractors who were either arrested or killed in Haiti took part in the operation to kill President Jovenel Moise.

The majority of the group that largely consisted of former soldiers were apparently not aware the objective was to assassinate Moise, said Duque.

. . .

Among the former soldiers who were arrested in Haiti is the cousin of Duque’s National Security Adviser Rafael Guarin.

Colombia’s top national security chief curiously claimed he had never heard of his cousin.
