Here in this picture, Daniel Rendon Herrera the captured drug lord, is being led off tho the capital restrained. He is to possibly be extradited to the U.S. since he is responsible for the shipping of at least 100 tons of cocaine there. Referenced in the link here, http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-world-latinamerica/20090415/LT.Colombia.Drug.Lord/ , Herrera is one of the most feared traffikers in the world and his orginization believed to be responsible for at least 3000 murders.
