The Attorney General's Office requested this Monday the entire file of the Army's operation in Puerto Leguizamo, Putumayo. The events were presented on March 28 and were classified as a triumph because 11 alleged members of the FARC dissidents had been dismissed; however, as the days went by, the community and several social organizations pointed out that the deceased were civilians.
