WITH BOMBS AND
CHEMICAL BOMBS THE GROUPS SUBVERSIVES ATTACK TO THE COLOMBIAN PEOPLE
By: Carolina Plata
Colombia has to bear constantly the terrorist threat of the illegal groups taken arms: massacres, abductions, murders, tortures and extortions. Their multiple expressions of savagery and barbarism they are translated in poverty, thousands of displaced persons victims of the violence, destruction of lives, families and entire towns.
The bombs are all those conventional instruments manufactured or craft (production housekeeper) for the purpose of producing threat, wound or death to a person.
The groups subversives have expanded the utilization of unscripted bombs in indiscriminate attacks, which al to be elaborate homemade, they lack precision and, of course, the victims are many more than them predicted. Such it is the case of the cylinders-bomb that al to be driven by housekeeper production gunpowder, they do not have the sufficient force to prompt the load to the white one desired, neither a precise path can be calculated.
One of the most serious
problems al than Colombia is faced is the indiscriminate use of mines
antipersonal on the part of the terrorist groups (FARC, ELN, AUC) since
violating the Humane international law and the convention of Ottawa (signed
September 18, 1.997 “convention on the prohibition of the employment,
storage, production and transfer of mines antipersonal and on their destruction”),
sow mines all along and wide Country -who they are in charge of this macabre
task they are mostly under age- for the purpose of limiting or to postpone
the movement of the adversary without importing them the harmful consequences
that leads to the irrational use of you said appliances: dead persons
and mutilations in thousands of soldiers, children, women and rural.
Departments mined by the guerrilla warfare
Frequency of victims according to condition
kills according to sex and age of events
These men and women have to be faced not only to the difficult task to recover the field (space in which before they sowed future and now they harvest fear, threat and terror; since the mines antipersonal can last assets around 40 years or more, and with the passage of time they return more sensitive, what does that the war be more prolonged) some also they have to suffer a Drastic of life due to the loss of their extremities when they step a mine.
The permanent violation on the part of the groups subversives to the norms and principles of the war does that they persist the impunity and the terrorist actions which generate highest costs in human losses, environment and the economy of the nation. Al less 2.205 adults and 5.250 children have been victims of this whip.
According to the Department of Defense the FARC, the ELN and the AUC have sown near 100.000 mines, which they are characterized for:
* They to be manufactured with not conventional materials that complicate the detection of the same. * The fields mined are not planned and they are not found delimited or demarcated. * The mines are sown of irregular form without continuing definite bosses. * They Cause indiscriminate damage particularly to the civil population, especially to the children.
