“Eight members of Colombia’s largest cartel have died in clashes with security forces, the army said Tuesday, the latest in a series of raids against one of Latin America’s most powerful criminal groups. Days after the death of a top Gulf Clan capo, the military said it had killed several more of the cartel’s members and taken two captive during an operation in the country’s northwest. In a social media post, the army said it had also seized ‘abundant war material and supplies.’ The Gulf Clan was born from right-wing paramilitary groups that fought leftist guerrillas in the 1990s — before turning their attention to the cocaine trade. They are now a criminal powerhouse making money from drug trafficking, illegal gold mining, racketeering and migrant smuggling across the northern border with Panama.” (04/09/25)
