Part 2/9:
The strike in question targeted a boat believed to be transporting eleven members of TDA (presumably referring to a specific gang or coalition operating within the region), along with narcotics. The vessel was departing from Venezuela, an area known for complex geopolitical and criminal dynamics. The U.S. government, and intelligence agencies in particular, appear to have been monitoring this vessel, leading to the targeted attack which suggests high-confidence intelligence about its cargo and occupants.
Such operations raise critical questions: Was this act purely anti-drug enforcement, or does it signal a broader effort to combat what might be classified as terrorist entities?
