| U.S. Seeks Colombia Warlord's Extradition |
| 2005-06-10 |
| The United States on Thursday formally requested the extradition of the man considered Colombia's most brutal paramilitary warlord, indicted for conspiracy to import tons of cocaine into the United States. Diego Murillo, who also faces murder charges, is a leader of the outlawed United Self-Defense Forces. He also allegedly ran a team of assassins used by Pablo Escobar's now-defunct Medellin cocaine cartel. He was indicted by a federal court in New York in July 2004 for the drug charges. |
