Sweden May Sell Spy Radar to Colombia

The Erieye Radar may well become the first weapon of war that Sweden has sold to Colombia in a very long time.

Saab has been authorized to negotiate the sale to Colombia in spite of country's dismal human rights record and massive protests from Amnesty International and peace organizations.

Vice President Santos is in Sweden discussing human rights violations in Colombia and climate change issues with Swedish vice minister of state Maud Olofssson today.

More to come....
