Colombian drug lord Otoniel to be extradited to US

Colombian drug lord Otoniel to be extradited to US
US officials had placed a $5m (£3.6m) bounty on the head of Otoniel, Colombia's most wanted drug lord.

Born in Antioquia in the early 1970s, Otoniel jumped between several guerrilla and paramilitary groups - including the Farc (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia), the major Marxist-Leninist rebel group, and the United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia (AUC), a far-right paramilitary and drug trafficking gang.
