Comment on Family of Colombian fisherman killed in U.S. boat strike files complaint, alleging murder

This certianly looks bad:

Petro denounced in late October that Washington’s second attack in the Caribbean Sea against a vessel (on September 15) had targeted a Colombian fisherman and “presumably” occurred in Colombian waters. The Colombian president stated that the man, whom he identified as 42-year-old Carranza, had no connection to drug trafficking. Trump, for his part, reported that three “Venezuelan narco-terrorists” were killed in the operation, allegedly transporting illegal narcotics destined for the United States.

But it seems to be the case that the crews of some narcotics trafficking vessels were occasionally non-Venezuelan…:

More than 80 people have died, and only two survivors have been identified: a Colombian and an Ecuadorian, who were aboard a suspected narco-submarine when it was attacked on October 18. Both were released in their respective countries after no charges were filed against them.

Unless there are “fishing submarines” I have never heard of (lol).

El Pais

They were misidentified.
