US military strike on alleged drug boat kills 2 in eastern Pacific
Source: Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S. military said it launched another strike Friday on a boat accused of ferrying drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two people.
The Trump administrations campaign of blowing up alleged drug-trafficking vessels in Latin American waters has persisted since early September and killed at least 183 people in total. Other strikes have taken place in the Caribbean Sea.
The military has not provided evidence that any of the vessels were carrying drugs.
The attacks began as the U.S. built up its largest military presence in the region in generations and came months ahead of the raid in January that captured then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. He was brought to New York to face drug trafficking charges and has pleaded not guilty.

(559 posts)need to be put under oath and present the evidence that there was drugs actually being moved and if not they need to be indicted and jailed. All of them including Trump and Vance if both had any part should be impeached and then tried for murder .
