Colombia military suspends intelligence official amid new spy list controversy
Oct 29, 2014 posted by Piotr Wojciak
The Colombian military sent home yet another intelligence official on Tuesday after a Military Intelligence list containing email addresses of peace delegates, journalists and the Red Cross was leaked to the press.
The military claimed on Tuesday that it is carrying out investigations into the existence of a list of emails of more than 300 public figures allegedly prepared by the military intelligence unit CIME.
The controversial document was published by Semana weekly on Tuesday.
The list is a Microsoft Excel file comprising of hundreds of private and work email addresses of notable people involved, in one way or another, in peace negotiations between the Colombian government and FARC staged in Havana, Cuba.
However, journalists who do not cover the peace talks, but general politics, were also included on the list.
