The Pentagon said a few of the former Colombian soldiers accused in the killing of Haiti’s president Jovenel Moise were trained by the US.
A small number of the former Colombian soldiers accused of involvement in the assassination of Haiti’s President Jovenel Moise this month had received United States military training in the past, the US Pentagon said on Thursday. Haitian authorities have said Moise was shot dead at his home on July 7 by a unit of assassins including 26 Colombians and two Haitian Americans. Eighteen Colombians have been detained and three others were killed by police. Families and colleagues in Colombia have told reporters the men were hired to act as bodyguards.
