Former right-wing paramilitary commander Hernan Giraldo, wanted in Colombia for numerous massacres, disappearances and rapes, was arrested at Bogota airport Monday after being deported from the United States where he had served 12 years in prison for drug trafficking, officials said. Hernan Giraldo Serna, known also as the Lord of the Sierra, has just landed in Colombia, Colombia s immigration bureau told reporters.
Also known as The Boss, the much-feared paramilitary leader, now aged 72, was one of the leaders of the far-right militias who waged a ruthless struggle against left-wing guerillas in Colombia until their demobilization in 2006.
