In today’s edition of [the Caracas daily] Ultimas Noticias, an article described how Colombian paramilitary organizations, responsible for killing thousands of people in Colombia, now have a significant presence in Venezuela. They are mainly concentrated close to the Colombian border in the Venezuelan state of Táchira.
In the article a couple of young paramilitaries now living in Venezuela describe how they got their start killing suspected guerrillas in Colombia, first torturing them in attempt to get information and later cutting them in pieces. Later the paramilitaries were being demobilized, but these individuals moved to Venezuela because, as they put it, Venezuela needs to be rid of its "guerilla government."
