One policemen was killed and three were injured on Wednesday amid ongoing attacks on security forces by the neo-paramilitary Gaitanista Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AGC).
According to local media, the group also known as “Los Urabeños” and “Clan del Golfo” carried out three attacks on police in the northwestern province of Antioquia, less than 30 miles from the province capital Medellin.

The group was former by members of paramilitary umbrella organization AUC that partially demobilized after striking a peace deal with the administration of former President Alvaro Uribe.
However, claiming they were deceived by the government thousands have since rearmed and have taken over the drug trafficking and extortion rackets left by the paramilitaries.
