Colombian Police: Communist Terror Group FARC Likely Killed Conservative Presidential Frontrunner

"Law enforcement officials in Colombia announced on Tuesday the arrest of the ninth suspect in the assassination of conservative presidential frontrunner Sen. Miguel Uribe Turbay, noting that the latest evidence indicates that the communist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) were involved in the planning of the killing.

Uribe, a candidate representing the Democratic Center political coalition, was on top of polls for the 2026 presidential election when he was shot in the head while leaving a campaign event on June 7. The person arrested on site for firing the gun was a boy between 14 and 15 years old. Uribe survived in intensive care until his passing in August; he was 39 years old.
The boy shooter is currently in police custody and not believed to have acted independently. Police have arrested nine people in relation to the attack; the latest, arrested this week, was identified as Simeón Pérez Marroquín, a criminal using the alias “El Viejo,” or “The Old Man.”
William Rincón, the director of Colombia’s National Police, said in press remarks on Tuesday that “El Viejo” appeared to be a liaison between the group that organizing the assassination and the FARC, a communist, U.S.-designated terrorist organization." Breitbart

Russia reacts to Belgian threat to ‘wipe Moscow off the map’

"Russia has accused Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken of irresponsible rhetoric after he suggested that NATO could “wipe Moscow off the map.”

In an interview with De Morgen newspaper published on Monday, Francken brushed off concerns that the currently shelved delivery of US-made Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine could trigger an all-out war between Russia and NATO.
He claimed that Russian President Vladimir Putin would not use nuclear weapons because the US-led bloc “will wipe Moscow off the map,” and that a conventional attack on Brussels would also result in Moscow getting “flattened.”
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Grushko told RBK on Wednesday that Francken’s words were in line with “the atmosphere of military psychosis” prevalent in Western Europe." RT
