Bush Sends Special Forces to Colombia

HeadlineFeb 24, 2003

The Bush administration has sent in 150 Special Forces to Colombia despite protests from Colombian politicians. The deployment comes in response to the murder of an American and the kidnapping of three others, all suspected CIA agents, the FARC says. The U.S. Embassy in Colombia has recommended Washington make a “major response” to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, which took credit for the kidnappings.
