Ten

Colombian drugs police killed

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Colombia is the

world's largest cocaine producer

 

 

 

Colombian

troops have accidentally shot dead 10 undercover police officers working on

an anti-drugs operation in the south of the country.

Soldiers near the town of Jamundi mistook the

police for drug traffickers, Defence Minister Camilo Ospina said.

One civilian was also killed in the skirmish, he said.

Officials and police have gone to the site of the shooting to

begin an investigation, Mr Ospina said.

" I regret to inform to the public that an accident occurred

that resulted in the death of 10 police officers and one civilian, " Mr

Ospina told a press conference.

Police chief Jorge Daniel Castro said those killed were members

of the judicial police tasked with dismantling a narcotics trafficking group.

 

The town of Jamundi is in the Valle

region, southwest of the capital, Bogota.
