Report Claims CIA Program Has Helped Kill Two Dozen Colombian Rebel Leaders -- FOX News
A CIA covert action program bolstered by eavesdropping from the National Security Agency has helped Colombian forces kill more at least two dozen leaders of rebel groups in the South American country over the past decade-plus, according to a Washington Post report.
The program consists of human intelligence and a GPS guidance kit that is used to aid bombs in targeting specific leaders. According to the Post report, which cited interviews with over 30 current and former U.S. and Colombian officials, the U.S. began providing the Colombian army with the GPS kits in 2006.
The program exists separately from the $9 billion aid package begun in 2000. It also makes heavy use of NSA monitoring to intercept communications and target the leaders of the left-wing Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the National Liberation Army (ELN).
