The Jamundí Massacre (Spanish; Castilian: Masacre de Jamundí) was a massacre perpetrated by a Colombian National Army elite unit known as the High Mountain Battalion ("Batallón de Alta Montaña") which was then commanded by Colonel Byron Carvajal against an elite Colombian National Police counter-narcotics unit on May 22, 2006 in the municipality of Jamundí, Department of Valle del Cauca.
On February 18, 2008 a civil judge in Cali condemned 15 soldiers for the massacre of ten policemen and a civilian.[1]
Initially the spokesman from the Army battalion referred to it as a friendly fire incident, confusing the anti-narcotics unit with an insurgent group. The case however, was investigated and resulted in the indictment of the soldiers for being at the service of drug cartels.[2] Colombian authorities suspected Diego León Montoya Sánchez aka "Don Diego" as the mastermind behind the attack.[3]
