The Christian Science Monitor has an article up about that ambush by a Colombian army unit of an elite police anti-drug squad in Colombia that occured back in May, which led to all nine members being killed, with allegations of corruption and infiltration of the military by a powerful drug cartel following soon after.
Most of it is a backgrounder on Plan Colombia, the U.S. government’s $4.7 billion aid effort to fight cocaine production, drug cartels and the FARC, with only a little more detail on the Jamundi massacre itself being included. It is then followed by another article with the Drug Czar, John Walters, claiming that the war is being won, despite coca production actually having increased of late.
The two pieces don’t add too much to what is known already but are a useful starting point for further research and reading.
