Mexico: US agents lacked approval for operation

The Mexico has said that two US agents who died in a car crash last weekend were not authorised to carry out operations on its territory. According to officials, the agents—reported to be linked to the CIA—had taken part in a raid targeting suspected drug laboratories in the northern state of Chihuahua. Their vehicle later veered off a mountain road and exploded. Following an investigation ordered by President Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s security ministry stated that neither agent had formal accreditation to participate in operational activities.

Army intercepts 296 wraps of suspected cannabis in Ogun

Troops of the Nigerian Army’s 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala Barracks, Abeokuta, have intercepted 296 large wraps of substances suspected to be cannabis sativa in Ogun State.​ The suspects were arrested during a stop and search operation along a major route in the state, after soldiers became suspicious of a commercial vehicle and ordered a thorough inspection.​ According to the army, the illicit substances were carefully concealed in multiple compartments of the vehicle in a bid to evade security checks.​ The driver and one other occupant were taken into custody after allegedly failing to provide satisfactory explanations or valid documentation for the consignment.​ Preliminary findings suggest the drugs were being transported from a border community for distribution to other parts of the southwest.​ The army said the seized wraps and suspects will be handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement […]

Petro warns of possible US military action

Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro has said there is now a serious risk of US military action against his country, warning that Washington’s recent rhetoric and operations are pushing relations into dangerous territory. In an interview with the BBC, Petro said the United States was increasingly behaving like an “empire” toward Latin America and could end up becoming isolated internationally if it continued on its current path. His comments came after US President Donald Trump said a military operation in Colombia “sounds good”, following recent US strikes in Venezuela and the capture of Nicolás Maduro. Petro said such statements could not be taken lightly, recalling Colombia’s past loss of territory and describing the remarks as a “real threat” to national sovereignty. The two leaders spoke by phone on Wednesday, with Trump later describing the exchange as an honour and suggesting he […]
