Israelis training death squads in Colombia
ynetnews
The Interpol issued an arrest warrant for three Israelis who are accused of training Colombian private armies, right-wing death squads and drug cartels, Israeli Ynetnews reported.
The Ynetnews added that the three Israelis, Yair Klein, Melnik Ferri and Abraham Tzedaka are wanted for charges of criminal conspiracy, and instruction in terrorism. If convicted, they could face 11 years in prison.
The statements were made by a spokesperson of the Colombian Domestic Intelligence, talking on condition of anonymity.
Also, the three Israelis are accused of helping set up training camps in order to train private armies working for drug lords Pablo Escobar and Gonzalo Rodriguez Gacha. The camps are meant to train the mercenaries about explosives, car bombs and high-profile killings, the Ynetnews added.
One of the accused Israelis, Klein, appeared in a video filmed in 1998. The video is used to train far-right squads.
The Ynetnews also said that Klein spent 16 months in a prison in Sierra Leon for his role in what is known as “gun-for-blood” diamonds deal.
Klein was interviewed in Israel by the Carocal TV in March, and denied that he ever worked with the cocaine cartels, but said that he trained far-right death squads on methods to “eliminate leftists insurgency”, the Ynetnews said.
According to Klein, he was originally hired “with the blessing of the Colombian Defense Ministry”. His job was to organize the security of the banana industry in Uraba region.
Many of the mercenaries he trained carried some of the most brutal massacres in Columbia.
Bur Klein argues that these squads are not “trained to kill” and that they are trained to defend themselves.
Also, Escobar is behind bringing down airplanes, detonating police headquarters and offered his army of assassins a set rate for the killing of policemen, the Ynetnews said.
In 1993, Escobar was shot down by the police in Madelin, his hometown, while Gacha was killed by the police in 1989

A wanted former Israeli military officer, Lieutenant Colonel Yair Klein, has returned to Israel after being released from a Moscow jail, a Russian source says.
Klein was freed from a Moscow jail where he was held on a request by the Colombian government which wanted him extradited on charges of training right-wing militias.
"Klein has been freed and he is currently en route to Israel," Interfax news agency quoted the Russian security source as saying on condition of anonymity. He declined to provide any further details.
Israeli television Channel 2 also reported the release and showed video of a smiling Klein leaving his prison in Moscow before heading to the airport and his flight back home.
According to the TV report, Klein said the first thing he wanted to do is see his family and criticized Israel for not obtaining his release sooner.
In 2001, a Colombian court sentenced the 67-year-old Klein in absentia to 10 years and eight months prison for training death squads who waged war against the Colombian state in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Klein, a former colonel in Israel's parachute infantry, was arrested in Moscow in 2007 under an Interpol warrant where he went for a holiday and for business.
He had been detained for 16 months in the West African country Sierra Leone between 1999 and 2000. He was accused of selling arms, training Liberian rebels and trafficking diamonds.
