Family of missing Colombian seek answers after US strike on alleged drug boat
The family of missing Colombian Alejandro Carranza seeks answers after a US strike on an alleged drug boat near Colombia's Caribbean coast. President Trump announced the strike, targeting drug-trafficking vessels departing Venezuela, which resulted in the deaths of three individuals. The strikes have sparked international criticism, with concerns about breaching international law and the targeting of civilians without due process. Family members, including Carranza's niece, await clarity on his whereabouts and intend to sue the US government over the incident, challenging the justification of the strikes as necessary self-defense.
