Make Headlines Have Propositions/Articles Again! (or whatever grammatical components are necessary to make headlines easier to parse; less garden path-y)
Colombian WHO WAS killed in A U.S. [MILITARY?] strike was on a fishing trip, wife claims
Colombian WHO WAS killed in by A U.S. [MILITARY?] strike was on a fishing trip , wife claims
The US military didn’t provide any credible evidence, they are basically starting a terrorist blockade of waters, while the only “fact” we have is the wife statement. Under normal circumstance the wife statement should be treated as fact unless proven otherwise.

I have a suggestion:

What did you think it meant?
Usually, sentences go noun-verb. So who did this Columbian kill?
Oh, a Columbian was killed. In the US, of all places! What happened?
Oh, weird. I wonder what kind of strike (maybe the government shutdown?) resulted in this Columbian getting killed.
Oh, that doesn’t make sense that there’d be a strike in the same place as a fishing trip. Wait, was he not in the US at all?
