Colombia president hints at conspiracy after candidate shot

توضیحات:

Colombian President Gustavo Petro claimed that a conservative presidential candidate’s security was “strangely reduced” before the candidate was shot, raising concerns of a possible plot. Senator Miguel Uribe, 39, was critically wounded by a 15‑year‑old alleged hitman while campaigning in Bogotá. Authorities say the attacker used a gun bought legally in Arizona but do not yet know who hired him. Petro condemned the attack, alleged threats against himself, and called for a full investigation. Uribe’s lawyer filed a complaint against the head of Colombia’s protection agency, citing ignored requests to boost the senator’s security.
