Yair Klein, an Israeli mercenary convicted in Colombia for training the Medellin cartel and right-wing paramilitaries, threatens to blow the whistle on Colombian officials if that country continues to seek his extradition.
Klein said so to the Jerusalem Post after he returned to Israel after having spent three years in jail in Russia, where he was arrested over an international arrest warrant issued at Colombia’s request.
According to Klein, his operations in Colombia were approved by both the Israeli and Colombian governments, and he even was asked to train left-wing FARC guerrillas by conspiring government officials.
