Colombia's president-designate Abelardo de la Espriella's team said on the 20th local time that guerrilla groups in Colombia are plotting to assassinate him before he officially takes office in August. The security team in La Esplea issued a statement on the 20th saying that intelligence warned that someone was planning to attack the president-elect on the same day. The statement accuses the “Armed Forces of National Liberation of Colombia”, an anti-government armed force still active in Colombia, and groups split from the disbanded “Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia” of providing nearly 1 million US dollars in rewards to “carry out an attack on the president-elect.” The statement also said that criminal organizations may be trying to “infiltrate” public events such as press conferences attended by La Espriera. According to Agence France-Presse, de la Esprija's team has requested an investigation from the relevant authorities, while stressing that “the president-elect will not abandon his itinerary because of these threats.”
