Colombian security forces have captured the country's most wanted drug trafficker, Dairo Antonio Usuga, a rural warlord who evaded a decade-long manhunt by corrupting state officials and aligning himself with combatants on the left and right.

BOGOTA, COLOMBIA -- Colombian security forces have captured the country's most wanted drug trafficker, a rural warlord who evaded a decade-long manhunt by corrupting state officials and aligning himself with combatants on the left and right.

But like many of his gunmen, he's also cycled through the ranks of several guerrilla groups, most recently claiming to lead the Gaitanist Self Defense Forces of Colombia, after a mid-20th century Colombian leftist firebrand.Authorities said intelligence provided by the U.S. and U.K. led more than 500 soldiers and members of Colombia's special forces to Usuga's jungle hideout, which was protected by an eight rings of security.

He refused to disarm when that militia signed a peace treaty with the government in 2006, instead delving deeper into Colombia's criminal underworld and setting up operations in the strategic Gulf of Uraba region in northern Colombia, a major drug corridor surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean sea on either side.
