A senior leader of Colombia's largest criminal gang, the Gulf Clan, is among eight people killed in an air strike carried out by the country's armed forces, according to President Abelardo de la Espriella. De la Espriella said he had personally authorised the bombing targeting the Gulf Clan in the province of Antioquia, in north-west Colombia. He added that Haminton Mosquera, whom he described as a senior member of the crime gang and one of 10 "priority targets" for Colombia's security forces, had been "brought down". De la Espriella was elected in June after campaigning on a promise to crack down on Colombia's powerful criminal gangs, including by launching air strikes.
