The United States Justice Department said Thursday that a federal grand jury had indicted six Colombians on charges of kidnapping and murder in the death of an American drug enforcement agent last month in Bogotá, Colombia. The Drug Enforcement Administration special agent, James Watson, was fatally stabbed in a taxi on June 20. The indictment alleges that Mr. Watson, who was working for the United States mission, got into a taxi cab operated by one of the defendants and was attacked by two others with a stun gun and a knife. The grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia charged each of the six men with two counts of second-degree murder, one count of kidnapping and one count of conspiracy to kidnap. They are accused of belonging to a crime gang specializing in robbery and kidnappings. In addition, another Colombian man accused of destroying evidence associated with the murder was also indicted.
