USA slår igen til imod formodede narkosmuglere

Det amerikanske forsvar har for tredje gang angrebet og tilintetgjort en hurtigsejlende motorbåd i internationalt farvand, der angiveligt var i gang med at smugle narko fra Venezuela til USA. Tre personer i båden meldes dræbt.

Oplysningen er offentliggjort på den amerikanske præsident Donald Trumps sociale medie Truth Social, inklusive en video der viser angrebet.

Det nøjagtige tidspunkt for angrebet, og positionen for angrebet er ikke oplyst - blot at det er sket i internationalt farvand.

De nu gentagne angreb, hvor påståede narkosmuglere bliver dræbt i droneangreb uden forudgående advarsel eller forsøg på at tage dem til fange, har skabt bekymring blandt jurister i det amerikanske forsvar.

Det Hvide Hus mener at have bemyndigelse til at foretage dødbringende angreb i udlandet, med henvisning til en lov vedtaget i Kongressen i 2001. Men denne lov er begrænset til al-Qaeda og andre tilsvarende grupper med forbindelser til angrebene på World Trade Center den 11. september.

Nogle militærjurister vurderer, at bemyndigelsen ikke omfatter kokainhandlere, selvom Det Hvide Hus har erklæret de venezuelanske narkosmuglere for en terrororganisation.
