For this reason, after last Saturday the FARC admitted the authorship of the assassination of the conservative leader Álvaro Gómez Hurtado (November 2, 1995), the spotlights were focused on Ruan and its members.
EL TIEMPO spoke with high-ranking Police officers of the time, and they assured that ‘Carlos Lozada’ did not appear in the organization charts of Ruan, but names such as Fernando Ujabán Salinas, alias José Marbel Zamora (captured in 1996 and released in 2000 due to expiration of terms) and José Milcíades Urrego, who entered the weapons through Panama.
La Ruan was so important that ‘Tirofijo’ himself put several of its members on the list of exchangeable for policemen, during the Pastrana government.
