DAS involved in paramilitary training, attacks on public figures: Semana

Colombian weekly Semana began publishing evidence Sunday of criminal activities by members of the country's already severely disgraced intelligence agency DAS, whose almost entire intelligence database was leaked to media and drug trafficking organizations.

In the first of a series of articles, Semana revealed how DAS agents were involved in the training of paramilitary forces and murder attempts on now-Interior Minister German Vargas Lleras and emerald miner Victor Carranza.

The DAS is weeks from being dismantled following scandals revealing that the state agency was involved in the murder of unionists and politicians, had been infiltrated by the paramilitary organization AUC, illegally wiretapped Supreme Court judges and opponents of the administration of former President Alvaro Uribe and was involved in drug trafficking.

According to the weekly, the reports published Sunday are the first of a series in which previously unknown criminal activities of DAS agents of the intelligence agency are revealed.
