This action made it possible to gather the kidnapped in one place, in order for them to board the helicopter and take them to freedom. The operation lasted 22 minutes and takes its name in honor of the first letter of the month in which it was carried out (July) and the “check” move in chess. The act of military intelligence was carried out following the development of other operations that made it possible to deal important blows to terrorism.
Men from the Army’s intelligence weapon turned this military action into one of the biggest reasons to “bring out their chests” in the institution, since it was carried out without firing a single shot.
New details of Operation Jaque
In the last few hours, remembering Operation Jaque, the Military Forces revealed a new detail that surprises the public. Apparently a mosquito attack was regarding to stop everything.
This attack occurred hours before carrying out the start of the last stage of Operation Jaque, the most crucial. And it is that the Military Forces explained that “the crew suffered a severe attack of mosquitoes during the last night that caused an allergic reaction.”
For this reason, the operation was almost halted by this small detail. Finally, this allergic reaction “had to be quickly counteracted with medication so as not to be discovered by the custodians of the hostages.”
