Colobian president,Gustavo petro, said that he has escaped an assassination attempt while travelling by helicopter with his daughters.
Petro said on Tuesday that his helicopter was unable to land at a destination on Colombia’s Caribbean coast the previous day because of fears that unspecified people “were going to shoot”.
He said that he had been forced to change his travel plans due to threats to his safety.
It will be recalled that Petro previously reported an alleged attempt on his life in 2024, and has claimed before that a drug-trafficking cartel has had its sights set on him as a target since he assumed office in August 2022.
