Colombia Extradites Rebel Leader Rojas to US After Immunity Delay

Colombian authorities have extradited Giovanni Andres Rojas, leader of the rebel group 'Comandos de la Frontera', to the United States, ending a months-long delay caused by immunity granted by the previous Colombian government. The handover signals a shift in Colombia's posture toward rebel leaders and may strain relations with groups operating near the border. The US will now prosecute Rojas, potentially revealing cross-border criminal networks.
