Elite commando unit kills top Colombian drug-trafficker 'while he watches football match'
Security forces in Colombia have killed one of its most-wanted drug fugitives, the alleged number two leader of a ruthless criminal network that arose from disbanded right-wing paramilitary groups to become the nation's largest drug-trafficking organisation.
Gulf clan capo Roberto Vargas, best known by his alias "the hawk", was killed in an operation by an elite commando unit near his base in the Gulf of Uraba region of northern Colombia.
