Colombia Arrests Drug-Dealing Warlord
BOGOTA – Colombian police arrested in the
northern part of the country the new leader
of a right-wing militia heavily involved in
drug trafficking, authorities said.
They said that Omar Alberto Gomez and four
of his associates were apprehended in
Aguachica, a city in Cesar province.
The arrested men had laid down their weapons
after peace accords were signed between the
AUC militia federation and the government,
but they had since returned to their
criminal activities, authorities said.
The recidivist group was founded by Daniel
Rendon Herrera, alias “Don Mario,” who was
captured in April and whose extradition has
been requested by the United States, and
since that time Gomez has been coordinating
the military outfit. EFE
