Diario Libre is reporting an alleged plot to kill AILA security chief Colonel Juan Francisco Tejada Genao and Major Joran Baez Fernandez. The twist is that a high-ranking official of the Marine Corps has been arrested in connection with the assassination plot. Major General Valentin Jaquez Lopez, director of Armed Forces intelligence, has confirmed the plot and says that the official will be tried as a civilian. Listin Diario is reporting that other military officials, both active and retired, are also being investigated for their involvement in the case and writes that three ex-members of the Specialized Airport Security Corps (CESA), who had been fired because of bad conduct, are also being investigated in relation to the plot. Listin Diario also writes that the supposed targets of the plot had detected various drug shipments at the airport in recent weeks, linking the plot to the drug trade. The persons hired to kill Colonel Tejada were to be paid RD$650,000 for the crime.
