摘要

It is the kind of outrage that Colombians hoped belonged to the past rather than the present. Over the course of this year, a score of unemployed young men disappeared from their homes in Soacha, a poor suburb of Bogota, only to turn up dead, apparently killed in combat by the army, several hundred miles farther north. There was speculation that they had been offered jobs by paramilitary groups. But as investigations have proceeded, the truth turns out to be even worse. The young men appear to have been kidnapped, turned over to army units and then murdered in order to inflate the body count of dead guerrillas.rnAfter three army colonels were dismissed over the case, President Alvaro Uribe and his defence minister, Juan Manuel Santos, took more drastic action on October 29th. They announced the firing of three generals and 24 other officers or ncos, in the biggest purge of the army for a decade. A military investigation had found that "in some parts of the army there has been negligence", Mr Uribe said. "There may be members of the armed forces involved in murder." The government has ordered the attorney-general's office to investigate, and officials say that any officers who are charged will be tried by civilian, not military, courts.
