Colombia's Most-Wanted Drug Lord Captured In Jungle Raid

He was the leader of the drug cartel called the "Gulf Clan"- which the U.S. State Department calls "heavily armed and extremely violent."

Colombian security forces have captured the country's most wanted drug trafficker, a rural warlord who stayed on the run for more than a decade by corrupting state officials and aligning himself with combatants on the left and right.

President Iván Duque likened the arrest Saturday of Dairo Antonio Úsuga to the capture three decades ago of Pablo Escobar.

Colombia's military presented Úsuga to the media in handcuffs and wearing rubber boots preferred by rural farmers.
