The Alianza Americana Anticomunista ("Anticommunist American Alliance" aka "Triple A") was a paramilitary far-right group mainly operating in Colombia between 1978 and 1979.
The Triple A would have engaged in bomb attacks, forced disappearances and assassinations of its political opponents, allegedly of a communist affiliation.
Lieutenant Colonel Harold Bedoya, who had been a professor at the School of the Americas (SOA) during 1979 and would several years later serve as Army Commander after reaching the rank of General, was accused by some human rights NGOs of being AAA's founder. These accusations would allegedly be supported by the confessions of three former agents from the Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad at the time.
It has also been claimed that Triple A cooperated with Operation Condor.
