THE TRUTH ABOUT TRIPLE-A
U.S. Document Implicates Current, Former Colombian Army
Commanders in Terror Operation
Army Commander Montoya Assigned to Intelligence Unit Behind
'American Anticommunist Alliance,' Responsible for Bombings and
other Violence
Washington DC, July 1, 2007 - As a growing number of Colombian
government officials are investigated for ties to illegal
paramilitary terrorists, a 1979 report from the U.S. Embassy in
Bogotá raises new questions about the paramilitary past of
the current army commander, Gen. Mario Montoya Uribe.
The declassified cable, the focus of a new article being published
today on the Web site of Colombia's Semana magazine, answers
long-simmering questions about a shadowy Colombian terror
ogranization responsible for a number of violent acts in the
late-1970s and early-1980s. Long suspected of ties to the Colombian
military, the cable confirms that the American Anticommunist
Alliance (Triple-A) was secretly created and staffed by members of
Colombian military intelligence in a plan authorized by then-army
commander Gen. Jorge Robledo Pulido.
Gen. Montoya was first tied to Triple-A by five former military
intelligence operatives who detailed the group's operations in the
Mexican newspaper El Día. The new evidence tying the Army's
'Charry Solano' intelligence battalion to the terror group is
likely to refocus attention on Montoya's role in that unit. The new
information follows the publication in March of a secret CIA report
linking Montoya to a paramilitary terror operation in 2002-03 while
commander of an army brigade in Medellín.
Along with previous Archive postings, the article, also published
in English on the Archive's Web site, is part of an effort by the
Colombia documentation project to uncover declassified sources on
Colombia's armed conflict, particularly its illegal paramilitary
terror groups, which are now engaged in a controversial
demobilization process with the government.
