Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:47:34 GMT

(CNN Español) — En 1992 el gobierno de Estados Unidos ofreció una recompensa de US$ 2 millones por información que permitiera la captura de Pablo Escobar el entonces jefe del Cartel de Medellín, uno de los más temidos y sanguinarios jefes del narcotráfico que en ese momento sembraba el terror en Colombia. Esta sería la primera de varias designaciones como terroristas tanto de personas como de grupos criminales en ese país por parte del Departamento de Estado y el Departamento de Justicia.En el caso de Pablo Escobar sus acciones violentas contra el Estado y la población civil, en su intento por frenar la extradición de narcotraficantes a Estados Unidos, motivaron esa decisión de Washington. Los centenares de víctimas de esta guerra de Escobar, entre las que se cuentan magistrados, periodistas, policías y ciudadanos indefensos, llevaron a las autoridades a considerarlo como uno de los narcotraficantes más buscados del mundo.Una imagen tomada el 6 de septiembre de 1989 de la tele...

Staff at the European Parliament were ordered to delete the video-sharing application from any work devices by March 20, after an edict last month from the Parliament’s President Roberta Metsola cited cybersecurity risks about the Chinese-owned platform.

TikTok says around 125 million Europeans actively use the app every month on average.“It’s always important in my parliamentary work to communicate beyond those who are already convinced,” said Leïla Chaibi, a French far-left lawmaker who has 3...
