Clear and present danger

Article Abstract:

The murder of Frank Moreno, an agent of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), in Bogota, Colombia, seemed to have no connection with drugs, even though he had posed as a drug dealer and been instrumental in the capture of several middlemen. It appears that he was shot following an argument in the El Divino nightclub, where he had gone to admire the motorbikes parked outside. However, it is also possible that he was a victim of the conflict between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and the DEA.
