Six more deaths. The United States has committed 76 extrajudicial killings in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific since the start of this military campaign on September 2. In total, 19 attacks occurred, although two of them involved two drug transport boats being bombed in one attack.
“On the orders of President Trump, two ballistic missile attacks were carried out yesterday on two vessels operated by designated terrorist organizations. According to our intelligence services, these vessels were connected to drug trafficking, drug transportation, and crossed a known drug trafficking route in the Eastern Pacific,” Secretary of Defense (currently War) Pete Hegseth said Monday.
Hegseth concluded that “both attacks were carried out in international waters and each boat had three drug-trafficking terrorists on board. All six died. No members of the US forces were harmed,” and provided not a single piece of evidence as to the cargo the boats were supposed to be carrying, nor the identity of the alleged “drug-terrorists”, nor the links attributed to them with those organizations dedicated to drug trafficking, nor any evidence of the boat’s alleged route to the United States.
This attack comes after two other attacks last week, on November 4 and 6, which resulted in the deaths of five people.
