In Colombia, the drug-financed guerrillas trying to seize the country and destroy democracy include M-19, which Castro has clearly backed. Robert Merkel, a former U.S. attorney handling drug indictments in Florida, doesn't think for a minute that Castro's much publicized trials of high officials engaged in the drug trade mean he has broken off with the Medellin drug cartel. "If the cartel succeeds in blackmailing the Colombian authorities into negotiations, the cartel will be in control and Fidel can exploit his past relationships with them," he told the Journal's David Asman recently. The struggle against the drug lords in Colombia will be a near thing. This week, the government arrested Jose Abello Silva, said to be the fourth-ranking cartel leader. He will probably be extradited to the U.S. for trial under an extradition treaty President Virgilia Barco has revived. Later, another high-ranking trafficker, Leonidas Vargas, was arrested and 1,000 pounds of dynamite seized. Mr. Barco has refused U.S. troops or advisers but has accepted U.S. military aid. President Bush has agreed to meet within 90 days with Mr. Barco, President Alan Garcia of Peru and President Jaime Paz Zamora of Bolivia to discuss the drug problem. It might not be a bad idea to do that sooner, rather than later. After the Panama fiasco, they will need some reassurance. Certainly, the Colombian press is much in need of that.

I Colombia har de narkotikafinansierade gerillasoldaterna som försöker inta landet och förstöra demokratin inkluderat M-19, som Castro tydligt har stött. Robert Merkel, en före detta amerikansk advokat som handhar åtal mot droger i Florida, tror inte för ett ögonblick att Castros mycket uppmärksammade rättegångar av höga tjänstemän som sysslar med narkotikahandeln betyder att han har brutit med Medellin-kartellen. "Om kartellen lyckas utpressa de colombianska myndigheterna till förhandlingar kommer kartellen att ha kontroll och Fidel kan utnyttja sina tidigare relationer med dem", berättade han nyligen för Journals David Asman. Kampen mot knarkkungarna i Colombia kommer att vara nära. Den här veckan grep regeringen Jose Abello Silva, som sägs vara den fjärde ledande kartellen. Han kommer troligen att utlämnas till USA för rättegång enligt ett utlämningsavtal president Virgilia Barco har återupplivat. Senare greps en annan högt uppsatt trafikör, Leonidas Vargas, och 1000 pund dynamit beslagtogs. Mr Barco har vägrat amerikanska trupper eller rådgivare men har accepterat amerikansk militär hjälp. President Bush har gått med på att inom 90 dagar träffa Mr Barco, president Alan Garcia i Peru och president Jaime Paz Zamora i Bolivia för att diskutera narkotikaproblemet. Det kanske inte är en dålig idé att göra det förr, snarare än senare. Efter Panamafiaskot behöver de lite uppmuntran. Den colombianska pressen är verkligen i stort behov av detta. Fråga: "Virglia Barco är president i vilket land?" Svar: "Peru" Är det här svaret på frågan korrekt? ALTERNATIV: - nej - ja
In Colombia, the drug-funded guerrilla soldiers who are trying to take the country and destroy democracy have included M-19, which Castro has clearly supported. Robert Merkel, a former U.S. lawyer handling drug charges in Florida, does not believe for a moment that Castro's highly acclaimed trials of senior drug trafficking officials mean he has broken with the Medellin cartel. "If the cartel manages to blackmail the Colombian authorities into negotiations, the cartel will have control and Fidel can exploit his previous relations with them," he recently told Journals David Asman. The fight against the drug lords in Colombia will be close. This week, the government arrested Jose Abello Silva, who is said to be the fourth leading cartel. He will likely be extradited to the United States for trial under an extradition treaty President Virgilia Barco has revived. Later, another high-ranking transporter, Leonidas Vargas, was arrested and £1,000 dynamite seized. Mr. Barco has refused US troops or advisors but has accepted US military assistance. President Bush has agreed to meet Mr Barco, President Alan Garcia in Peru and President Jaime Paz Zamora in Bolivia within 90 days to discuss the drug problem. It may not be a bad idea to do it sooner, rather than later. After the Panama fiasco, they need some encouragement. The Colombian press is in great need of this.
