American Citizen "Bo" Olsen Shot and Killed on Sailboat in Panama
Bond Olsen, 61, of Denmark, died early Tuesday when five gunmen attacked his sailboat the "Antares." Also on the boat at the time of the attack were his son, 24 year old American citizen Zacarías Keiser Olsen and his 27 year old wife Sujey Rodríguez, a Panamanian woman from Chiriqui. The criminals shot Olsen in his right leg and he bled to death. The bullet hit an artery. The sailboat has been anchored for six months in front of the Bajo Pipón island in the Gulf of Chiriqui.

Editor's Comment: From what I understand "Bo" Olsen is a dual US/Danish citizen. His 24 year old son was born in the United States, and he was also shot in the side. They managed to get to land and he was operated on yesterday. Zack's wife was beaten in the face by the attackers. I've received some phone calls and emails from some members of the boating community in this area detailing some of the rumors and innuendo possibly surrounding this attack - but since there's nothing substantial I won't repeat any of that stuff - at this point is all just speculation and gossip. The Panamanian authorities continue to investigate the attack.
