The US Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel issued a classified opinion stating that US military personnel involved in attacks on boats in the Caribbean Sea will not face legal liability in the future, the Washington Post reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
In recent months, the US armed forces have repeatedly targeted vessels suspected of carrying drugs off Venezuela’s coast. In late September, NBC News reported that the US military was exploring options for strikes against drug traffickers inside Venezuela.
The classified opinion was prompted by government concerns over the legality of such strikes, the report said.
