Former Colombian senator killed in ambush

-Contributed by Erwin Cifuentes. Jaime Lozada was killed this Saturday in an ambush by leftist rebels who had kidnapped his two sons between 2001 and 2004. In June 2004, Lozada took the controversial move of paying ransom to the FARC, yet police allege that he may have been murdered in order to collect more ransom money. (NZ Herald)
