Dear Colleague,
More evidence has surfaced in the story that began to unravel last
September when a jet smuggling tons of cocaine crashed on Mexico's
Yucatan Peninsula. Journalist Bill Conroy reports that documents from
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) link that plane to a Florida
businessman that, a key source tells Narco News, was linked to the
"Bogotá Connection" case previously reported here.
Conroy reports:
"At the time a Gulfstream II jet, packed with nearly four tons of
cocaine, crashed in Mexico's Yucatan on Sept. 24 of last year, the
owners of that jet were Clyde O'Connor and Greg Smith ? both pilots
who hail from Florida.
"Both men have since vanished like vapor in the wake of that ill-fated
Gulfstream II's misadventure, but the paper trail has now caught up to
them.
"?The man at the center of this latest intrigue over the cocaine
planes is a known CIA asset named Baruch Vega.
"?Vega claims that between 1997 and 2000 an individual named Greg
Smith ? the same Greg Smith listed on the bill of sale for the
Gulfstream II ? was brought in by the FBI to pilot some 25 to 30
flights between Florida and Latin America as part of a U.S.
government-sanctioned operation targeting Colombian narco-traffickers.
Vega played a key role in that operation, which involved the DEA and
FBI as well as the CIA ? all using Vega as their common asset."
