Colombia has extradited a right-wing militia leader to the US on drug charges, despite an outcry from victims\' groups and rights activists.
Ever Veloza had reportedly co-operated freely with prosecutors, leading them to unmarked graves and admitting dozens of murders.
BBC reports said his testimony had also revealed high-level collusion between paramilitaries, politicians and the security forces.
Rights groups said his extradition should have been delayed and could leave dozens of cases unsolved.
