Colombian warlords extradited to US
Colombian warlords extradited to US
Associated Press - May 13, 2008 3:55 PM ET
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - Colombia extradited 14 paramilitary warlords to the United States today on drug-related charges.
Those extradited in the pre-dawn operation include Salvatore Mancuso and most other leaders of Colombia's illegal right-wing militias -- notorious figures blamed for some of modern Colombia's worst atrocities, including the deaths of at least 10,000 people.
The U.S. charges, some of which remain in sealed indictments, apparently are limited to drug trafficking and related violence. There is indication that the United States will prosecute the warlords for massacres and other rights violations.
A U.S. law enforcement official tells The Associated Press that the warlords will be tried in Washington, Miami, Tampa, Florida, New York and Houston.
