Bogota: A dissident rebel believed to be working for a Mexican drug cartel, and on the ‘most wanted’ lists of two South American countries, was killed Friday in a government operation, Colombia said.
Walther Arizala, known by his nom-de-guerre of “Guacho,” is believed to have ordered the abduction and murder of a three-man Ecuadoran press team on the border with Colombia early this year. “We can confirm that (Arizala) alias Guacho fell in an operation and has been killed,” Colombian President Ivan Duque told reporters.
