Major Colombian trafficker killed

BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) -- Colombian police killed a top drug lord on Tuesday for whose capture the U.S. government offered a $5 million reward, Colombia's defense minister said. Miguel Angel Mejia, known as "the twin", was killed in an operation in northern Colombia, Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos said at a news conference. "He was perhaps the most wanted of all the criminals" in Colombia, Santos said. Two members of Mejia's security unit were killed and three of his men were arrested, Santos said. Mejia was killed wearing a U.S. military uniform, said Santos, without elaborating. Authorities were led to Mejia by an informant.
