    President Santos confirms Colombian drug lord killed in military operation

    “Megateo killed. HUGE BLOW. Congratulations! Criminals are either brought to justice or end up buried,” Santos wrote on his Twitter account.

    A wanted Colombian drug lord who had a $5-million price on his head from the United States has been killed in a military operation, authorities said Friday. Victor “Megateo” Navarro, a former guerrilla fighter accused of running a cocaine supply route along the Colombian-Venezuelan border, was first reported killed in August.
