Fox News
Two Colombian nationals were sentenced to prison for conspiring and attempting to murder U.S. soldiers by detonating a car bomb outside a military base in 2021.
According to court documents, Rodriguez and Ballesteros and members of the 33rd Front, an extremist faction of Las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias (FARC), specifically targeted American troops stationed at the Colombian 30th Army Brigade Base in Cúcuta, Colombia.
Officials said Rodriguez, a co-conspirator, used his status as a medically discharged Colombian army officer to gain access to the base, where he conducted photographic and video surveillance of the areas where the U.S. soldiers were primarily located.
