Evidence confirms claims of Colombian army's 'witch hunt' on NYT sources
by Adriaan Alsema July 7, 2019
Weekly Semana published evidence confirming claims that Colombia’s army is trying to identify commanders who expressed concern to the New York Times about the commander’s order to double the number of combat kills and captures.
The magazine’s website published audio of a counterintelligence commander General Eduardo Quiroz offering $30,000 (COP100 million) or six-month vacations to officers who expose the commanders who talked to the NYT.
We will give 100 million pesos or a six-month leave to those who bring me the ones who are filtering the information that is coming out in the press.

Quiroz reportedly also called a meeting at the National Army’s 2nd Brigade in the city of Bucaramanga during which commanders allegedly were subjected to a lie detector test.
