Petro Accuses US of Murder at Sea

Read, Watch or Listen

Colombian President Gustavo Petro accused the United States of "murder" after a September strike on a boat in Colombian waters, saying fisherman Alejandro Carranza was killed while his disabled vessel displayed a distress signal. Petro demanded explanations as Donald Trump said the U.S. had targeted a "drug-carrying submarine," killing two. The attack is at least the sixth on Caribbean vessels in recent weeks and the first with survivors. UN-appointed experts called the strikes "extrajudicial executions." U.S. administration figures say the previous five attacks killed at least 27 people.
