Colombia Most Wanted
This is the to 3 most wanted Colombians. The photo was taken at the DAS immigration office on my way out of Colombia.
$5,000,000,000 pesos = 2.5 million USD
Here is more! Notice how some has their face crossed off with MUERTO written? Yup that's right they got him.
These guys all looks to be part of the paramilitary here in Colombia.
Speaking of paramilitary. Here is an interesting news article on the Guardian website, with regards to a 29 years old Dutch woman name Eillen, whom have been fighting on FARC's side since 2001. Recently her diary was recovered by Government soldiers, and within it she tells of her life with the communist rebels.

Earthquake in Colombia
A 6.2 magnitude earthquake hit the South West region of Colombia, causing some damage but no reported lost of lives. Lets hope that is the last of the earthquakes in this region.
I am in Huaraz now, another region known for it´s deadly earthquakes. The last one in the 1970´s killed half of this town´s residents and caused massive damage to both the city and the landscape.
The newspaper article from The Age sent to me from my sister.
