Colombia says top narco offering bounties for cops

The Associated Press 3:49 p.m. January 23, 2009

BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombia's national police chief says the country's leading drug lord has offered assassins a bounty of $1,000 for each police officer they kill.

Gen. Oscar Naranjo is leading a manhunt for fugitive drug boss Daniel Rendon, alias "Don Mario."

Naranjo did not provide any evidence to back the claim that Rendeon was offering a bounty on police officers. He spoke to a local television station Friday at a temporary headquarters he has set up in Medellin.

The Associated Press could not reach Naranjo or any of his press officers for further comment.

Before he was slain by police in 1993, assassins hired by drug kingpin Pablo Escobar killed scores of police as part of his terror campaign against extradition.

Next this will spread to Mexico and then it will come here unless we build the fence from coast to coast now while we can.
