U.S. suspends some military aid to Colombia
7 November 08

From CNN

BOGOTA, Colombia — The U.S. government told CNN it suspended military aid within the last week to three Colombian army units implicated in the extrajudicial killings of at least 11 innocent civilians. Colombian President Alvaro Uribe greets U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay last week.

The official did not state how much aid was involved, and there was no immediate reaction from the Colombian government.

Aid was also suspended to "several other" army brigades allegedly involved in the spree of illegal executions, a senior U.S. government official said. That aid was suspended before a recent scandal alleging those units violated human rights, the official said.
