Colombia ministry of defense announces security increases

The ministry of defense announced on Saturday a strategic plan to reinforce security for Colombian citizens, including an increased police presence and stronger counterintelligence.

The minister also announced his intention to attack 20 “pots” of micro-drug-trafficking in an equal number of cities over the next two months.

“The operations ‘Sword of Honor’ [of the army] and ‘Green Heart’ [of the police] have yielded great results,” Pinzon said. “They have affected the financial and armed structures of terrorist networks, criminal gangs, and organized crime. This is shown by the statistics.”
