Colombia researched five generals of extrajudicial killings

The generals Leonardo Gomes enjoys Antonio lovers, Hernandez Perez Molina, Justo Eliseo Peña and Emir Jose Barrios invited to appear before the prosecutor to answer questions about the possible involvement in cases that have become known as the "falsos positivos" ( "false positive" results, in the terminology of science).
These cases civilians were killed by soldiers, who presented them then as rebels to secure licenses, bonuses or promotions.
Among these five senior officers, only General Barrios is still active, according to sources in the army.
After their interrogation, expected to begin November 10, the prosecutor will decide whether brought to justice or not, as the Athens Press Agency reported.
Hundreds of soldiers have already been convicted in Colombia because they had falsely stated that civilians were guerrillas killed in combat.
About 20 others generals face the current time surveys for similar acts.
According to the organization defending human rights Human Rights Watch (HRW), over 4,000 civilians were murdered by the military in Colombia from 2002 to 2008.
The civil war in Colombia, which has lasted over 50 years and which involved leftist guerrilla organizations, extreme right-wing paramilitaries and the army has killed at least 220,000 people, while tens of thousands of people have disappeared and six million have been displaced.
