Colombia Kills FARC Dissident Leader on New President's First Full Day

Colombian forces killed Hernando Forero Mosquera, alias 'El ruso,' who led Frente 28, a breakaway faction of the former FARC guerrillas that rejected a 2016 peace deal. Three alleged members also died in Meta province. The strike followed President de la Espriella's inauguration pledge of military force — and was met by same-day bombings in Cauca and Cesar, signaling the challenges ahead.
