The United States has granted refuge to the wife of a drug trafficking suspect wanted in the US and whose paramilitary group is considered a terrorist organisation.
Kenia Gomez, wife of Carlos Castano, a founder of the feared United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia, or AUC, went to US officials for help after her husband disappeared during a gun battle with paramilitary rivals in northwest Colombia last April.
The US is seeking the arrest and extradition of Castano on criminal charges, but unconfirmed reports say he is dead.
