Colombian president reports ‘assassination attempt’

The alleged plot comes after a senator escaped a kidnapping attempt in the run-up to elections

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has claimed he has survived an assassination attempt following months of warnings about an alleged plot by drug traffickers to target him.

The South American nation has been scarred by decades of conflict involving guerrillas and other armed groups. The alleged attempt on his life also comes ahead of congressional elections on March 8 and presidential elections scheduled for May.

During a live-streamed cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Petro said that hours earlier he was in his helicopter with his daughters and was unable to land at a destination in the Colombian department of Cordoba on the Caribbean coast due to fears that unidentified individuals “were going to shoot.”

“I’m trying to escape being killed. That’s why I couldn’t arrive on time last night, because I couldn’t land where I had said. This morning, I couldn’t land where I was supposed to either, because there was information that the helicopter was going to be shot at,” he said.

Constitutionally barred from seeking a second term, Petro claimed that a drug-trafficking organization has targeted him since he took office in August 2022. He had previously reported another alleged attempt on his life in 2024.

According to El Tiempo, Colombia’s largest cartel, the Gulf Clan, operates in Cordoba. The outlet also notes that the group recently suspended peace talks with the government after Petro agreed with US President Donald Trump on cooperation to capture cartel leader Hobanis de Jesus Avila Villadiego.

Petro and Trump met at the White House earlier this month amid rising tensions, with the latter criticizing Colombia’s efforts against drug trafficking as inadequate after previously calling the country’s president an “illegal narco-leader.” Petro rejected the accusations and criticized Washington’s operations in the Caribbean and Venezuela, actions he said were harmful to regional stability.

Petro made the latest statements after Colombian Senator Aida Quilcue was taken by unknown people in her home department of Cauca, a conflict-affected, coca-growing region contested by dissidents of the now-disbanded FARC guerrilla army.

The award‑winning Indigenous activist was rescued, her team reported on X, hours after the vehicle she had been traveling in with two bodyguards was found abandoned. The 53‑year‑old activist told AFP she had been taken by “various armed men,” without saying which group they belonged to.

Venezuela renews oil shipments to Israel – Bloomberg

West Jerusalem has reportedly received its first shipment from the South American country since the US imposed a blockade

Israel has reportedly received its first crude oil shipment from Venezuela since the US imposed a blockade on the Latin American country and abducted its president, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing people with knowledge of the deal.

The US launched a military operation to kidnap Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in early January, and now claims to have seized control of the country’s oil exports.

At least seven tankers deemed to have violated US sanctions have been seized since then, including a Russian flagged tanker in the mid-Atlantic, and Washington has banned Venezuelan oil producers from doing business with Russia and China.

Sources speaking on condition of anonymity told the news agency that the oil is being transported to Bazan Group, Israel’s largest crude processor. The shipment is reportedly the first of its kind since mid-2020, when Israel received about 470,000 barrels, according to data tracked by Kpler.

The reported shipment comes as part of Washington’s efforts to reroute flows of Venezuelan oil towards new international buyers. Earlier this week, Reuters cited trade sources as saying that India’s two state refiners purchased two million barrels of Venezuelan crude for delivery in the second half of April. Last week, the agency reported, citing shipping schedules, that two million barrels of crude from the South American country had been sent to refineries owned by oil producer Repsol in Spain.

Australia seeking criminal charges over aid workers slain by IDF in Gaza

A 2024 Israeli drone attack on the Palestinian enclave left several foreigners dead

Canberra is demanding criminal charges over an Israeli drone attack on Gaza that left aid workers dead, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said.

Seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers were killed in a 2024 Israeli airstrike, which the NGO has described as “targeted.” The victims included Australian Zomi Frankcom, three British nationals, a Polish national, a dual US-Canadian citizen, and a Palestinian.

The issue was raised this week as Israeli President Isaac Herzog is visiting Australia to express solidarity with the country’s Jewish community in the wake of a deadly mass shooting which took place in December.

Albanese told Australia’s parliament on Wednesday that he had confronted Israel regarding the slain aid workers, calling it “a tragedy and an outrage” and saying Canberra had made clear its “expectation that there be transparency about Israel’s ongoing investigation” into the incident.

“We continue to press for full accountability, including any appropriate criminal charges,” he said, noting that Herzog had agreed to “engage.”

The aid workers were traveling through a de-conflicted zone in central Gaza in two armored cars with the WCK logo on them as well as a soft-skin vehicle when struck, despite the WCK coordinating its movements with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), according to the NGO.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged that the IDF was behind the airstrike but is insisting that it was an accident.

Ghislaine Maxwell Alleges 25 Men Settled with Epstein Victims, Protected by NDAs.

Deceased pedophile and financier Jeffrey Epstein’s associate and madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, has filed legal papers claiming that 25 men made “secret settlements” with Epstein‘s victims, suggesting these individuals could be prosecuted. The filings come as Maxwell seeks to overturn her 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking.

The habeas petition, filed in late December, appears to be a last-ditch effort to entice a deal from the government that would secure her release. In the petition, she also implicated four of Epstein’s co-conspirators who allegedly helped recruit victims. Maxwell wrote, “New evidence reveals that there were 25 men with which the [accuser’s] lawyers reached secret settlements—that could equally be considered as co-conspirators.”

Maxwell has long maintained that she was unfairly targeted following Epstein’s death in 2019, which occurred under suspicious circumstances in a New York City jail while he awaited trial for sex trafficking. Epstein’s connections to influential figures, including former President Bill Clinton and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, have drawn significant attention, though these individuals deny knowledge of his criminal activities.

While the identities of the 25 men mentioned in Maxwell’s filing remain protected by alleged non-disclosure agreements, experts contend that the federal government could take steps to nullify those agreements and reveal their names. The release of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) files pertaining to Epstein has led to a series of high-profile allegations and resignations in recent weeks. The National Pulse reported last week that former British ambassador to the United States, Lord Peter Mandelson, is being investigated by British police over allegations that he leaked sensitive government information to the late pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein when he was in government.
