Outside assistance with Colombian 'counterinsurgency' efforts in the form of Israeli 'expertise' has created dangerous rogue mercenaries and prolonged a bloody conflict...In 1987, right-wing paramilitaries [eventually the AUC] hired Israeli former Lieutenant Colonel reservist Yair Klein and members of his private "security" company Hod He'hanitin (Spearhead Ltd.) as advisors on the country's leftist insurgency with tacit approval from the government...On 27 August, Klein was detained at Moscow's Domodedovo airport...Klein is wanted by Colombia's law enforcement agencies after being convicted for training a terrorist group in 1990...[M]any AUC leaders were...accused of serious human rights violations.
