OPERATION DRAGON

Terrorist Plan to assassinate opponents of the current administration discovered

Press Bulletin by Congress Representative ALEXANDER LOPEZ

Bogotá, 27th August 2004

Two raids carried out by officers from the Technical Research Unit [CTI - Cuerpo Técnico de Investigaciones] of the Attorney General’s office [Fiscalia General de la Nación] in Calí and Medellín have led to the discovery that the Colombian Army supplied classified information to an international corporate consultancy expert in security investigations.

The connection was made through Lieutenant Colonel Julian Villate, military identity number 7217167. The purpose was to obtain precise details on the political positions, habits, activities and above all the vulnerability in the daily movements of opposition leaders who have death threats against them, including political, trade union and social movement leaders as well as human rights defenders.

It seems that the Fiscalía found what amounts to a parallel intelligence network that operates not only with the collaboration of the Army’s 3rd Brigade, but also involves the Superintendent of Public Services, the management of Cali Municipal Corporation, EMCALI; the Intelligence Service of the National Police, SIPOL; the National Electrical Finance body, FEN; the Ministry of the Interior; the Administrative Security Department, DAS and the Cali Metropolitan Police.

These state bodies knew about, collaborated with, endorsed, and above all gave full support to the intelligence gathering operations of CONSULTORIA INTEGRAL LATINOAMERICANA, CIL and an associated company by the name of SERASYS with which they exchanged special information on the processes to liquidate several public corporations. The corporations include the Barranquilla Telephone Company; Tolima Electric and the public service corporation EMCALI all of which are in the process of liquidation and privatisation.

The army officer tried to justify his presence in the place where the raid took place and his possession of various confidential documents - now included in the case – arguing that he had been part of CIL, to which he referred as "our company". This circumstance is causing concern for the Fiscalía. By this statement the officer recognised his double role: on the one hand as a member of the National Army and on the other as a private investigator paid by CIL.

Villate maintained that CIL was contracted by EMCALI and the Superintendent of Public Services to carry out an analysis of the economic, financial and political- social reality of the corporation, that would try and suggest actions in strategic terms to guarantee its viability.

In the raid on apartment 301, Castle Buildings Number 8N-37 on 4th Avenue North in Calí, the investigators found a folder marked "SECRET" with 21 files inside. The manuscript had been forwarded on 24th May 2003 from Santiago de Calí by the MILITARY INTELIGENCE OF ARMY REGIONAL INTELLIGENCE No 3 to the colonel Central Director of Intelligence in Bogotá. The document was numbered internally under the reference: 093 CIME-RIME3-INT4-252.

Several mobile telephones were found as were hand written notes alluding to "Operation Dragon". Besides, the Fiscalía found a black leather notebook that included 38 pages recording such information as the names, telephone numbers and addresses of individuals. There was a specific note on the campaign headquarters of Congressman ALEXANDER LOPEZ, which had a detailed description of the property.

The Fiscalía raided this residence because it was explicitly mentioned in a secret report received by Congressmen that affirmed, amongst other things, the existence of a plan to assassinate the Congress Representative that would be carried out that same week and that a large sum of money had been paid to those due to execute the operation.

In all the documents found in the Calí raid – including those of the Army - curiously, emphasis is made on the political activities of members of the Polo Democrático [Democratic Pole], the Frente Social y Politico [Social and Political Front], the Alternativa Democrática [Democratic Alternative], the MOIR [Revolutionary and Independent Workers Movement] and Congress Representatives WILSON BORJA, GUSTAVO PETRO, MARIA ISABEL URRUTIA, CARLOS GAVIRIA, JORGE ENRIQUE ROBLEDO, LUIS CARLOS AVELLANEDA, the Governor of Valle department ANGELINO GARZON, Mayor of Bogotá, LUIS EDUARDO GAZON marked out in these reports as supporting the objectives of the insurgency and creating spaces to advance humanitarian interchange [a reference to exchange of prisoners held by the FARC and the state authorities.

Days before Congress Representative ALEXANDER LOPEZ had been advised of a definite plan to assassinate first himself, then followed on the list by BERENICE CELEYTA the President of NOMADESC [Association for Research and Social Action], and LUIS HERNÁNDEZ the president of SINTRAEMCALI. This triggered Lopez’s denouncement to the Fiscalía of the threatened assassination attempt.

Most serious of all is that the person who provided the said information was categoric about the direct relation between active and retired military personnel. This source highlights in particular the action of Colonel GERMAN HUERTAS CABRERA, chief of security at EMCALI who has launched a strong polemic in the interests of President ALVARO URIBE VELEZ concerning the privatisation of the public services corporation.

The documents found in the raid corroborate that in effect there are parallel organisations contracted by the government to eliminate the political and social opposition in Colombia.

POSTSCRIPT by Correspondent of Prohibido Olvidar Campaign:

These serious events were publicly denounced on 28th August at a press conference in the LUIS CARLOS GALAN Room at the National Capitol in Bogotá.

This caused the Minister of the Interior and Justice, SABAS PRETEL DE LA VEGA to call at the office of Congress Representative ALEXANDER LOPEZ MAYA, where a meeting was held to discuss these matters with Congress Representative WILSON BORJA and BERENICE CELEYTA the President of NOMADESC also participating.

In this meeting the Minister expressed concern that Lieutenant Colonel JULIAN VILLATE REAL had said that his activities were carried out with the knowledge of the Government Minister and other state bodies.

RECOMMENDED URGENT ACTION

For the above reasons we urgently seek::

1. That demands are put on the Colombian government and particularly on
President of the Republic ALVARO URIBE VELEZ as Commander General of the Military Forces to explain the reason why the Army 3rd Brigade is involved in this Plan of Extermination called Operation Dragon against the political leaders of the opposition, trade union leaders and defenders of human rights.

2. That the physical and psychological integrity of ALEXANDER LOPEZ, LUIS HERNANDEZ and BERENICE CELEYTA be guaranteed, as with all the people mentioned in the documents found in the raids.

3. That the intellectual and material authors of Operation Dragon be investigated and tried in exemplary manner, and that there is a public report of the results of the investigations, in particular the information found in the raids in Cali and Medellín.

4. That the corporation Consultoría Integral Latinoamericana CIL, its associate SERASYS and their nexus with state forces - Army 3rd Brigade , Cali Metropolitan Police, Administrative Security Department, DAS, the Intelligence Service of the National Police, SIPOL – be investigated.

esta es una clara seña del accionar organizado de la fuerza ultraderechista en Colombia, que para fortuna de ellos tienen un gobierno que apoyo todas sus acciones..
Ojala haya un pronunciamiento serio sobre esto, y que no solo digan "Se estan tomando las acciones pertinente"
Minimo esto fue una operacion de Uribe en asocio con Castaño...

No sé cómo será lo de la tal OPERACION DRAGÓN, y lo dudo, porque los afectados siempre tienen a exagerar. Pero muy bien por quienes se están dedicando a esculcar todas esas ratoneras llenas de guerrilleros disfrazados de sindicalistas y "defensores de derechos humanos".

Ojalá de verdad logren desenmascarar a todos esos delincuentes que se muestran como amigos del pueblo y que dicen luchar por el bien común, pero sólo se interesan por sus propios beneficios.

Hipócritas!!!

He estado leyendo un libro sobre desapariciones forzadas en Colombia , lo cual crei que no existia , pero ahora gracias a informaciones como esta denuncia , veo la realidad horrorosa en ese país, solo espero que siga llegando este tipo de denuncias a la opinión publica y sobre todo a tiempo.

Si en Colombia no se acepta y se respecta que hay diferentes opiniones y maneras de pensar, no saldra nunca de su condición de pais termundista , siendo exclavo y sumiso de los estaudinences.
La gente que desaparece, asesina al otro por ser diferente , por pensar distinto, seria más inteligente si lo aceptara, respetara , al final esta gente saldria ganando tambien , asi se construye la Unión Europa , a punta de discuciones construtivas donde a el que piensa diferente se le escuche y respecta .

Acepta y tolera al otro, no lo mates.

Uribe y sus colegas aducirán que se trata de otro caso aislado más. Pero cuando se suman tantos casos aislados durante décadas y décadas, entonces estamos ante un fenómeno estatal inocultable. ¿Cuándo aprenderán los militares que su función no es matar a quienes cuestionan los gobiernos? ¿Acaso no saben que la primera obediencia debida se aplica a las leyes de la humanidad y la vida, y que desobedecer órdenes infames es ser leal con el bien básico de toda comunidad? Se les desplomó la coartada.

Esto solo demuestra la sangre de traidores que tienen quienes visten los uniformes oficiales.Siempre terminan de celadores y cuidanderos de los interese y propiedades de los monigotes que les hacen medallas para coquetear a "sus hombres de la patria", sino solo hay que ver a sabas pretelt( fascista y fanatico de las ideas hitlerianas- y de los dementes de chicago) ha-siendose el marica, cuando esto en parte es de su inspiracion, o mejor de sus autoria intelectual. Hay esta el resultado de la labor de zapa y quintacolumnismo que es el estado colombiano. Sabas. santos, y otros tantos penetraron al movimiento social y a los defensores de los derechos humanos para despues venderlos a los mercenarios y carniceros nacionales. Solo porque ellos quieren feriarse y joder al pais para seguir en su mundo ezquizofrenico y anormal, mientras tanto nuestra energia, nuestra agua, en definitiva nuestro destino y nuestro mundo que se joda, que valen huevo todos los mestizos , indios o negros de este pais , para eso estan los "soldados de la Patria", soldados de alquiler de una patria inexixtente o si , la patria de la ignominia, la bajeza y la estupidez.
