Gustavo Petro says he just dodged assassination
Colombia’s socialist president Gustavo Petro has been in the US’s crosshairs since he denounced Trump and his “clan of paedophiles” for abducting Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
Today, he narrowly avoided assassination when attackers overran the planned landing site for the helicopter in which he and his family were travelling.
Petro later described how the family had to fly out to sea for hours before finding a safe place:
No group has yet claimed responsibility, leaving open the likelihood of another US-sponsored murder attempt, ignored by most western media.
