Mourning in Colombia for the death of senator and pre-candidate Uribe

Bogota, Aug 11 (Prensa Latina) Senator and presidential candidate for the Centro Democrático Party of Colombia Miguel Uribe died today in this capital two months after suffering an attack, according to the Santa Fe Clinic in Bogota.

The 39-year-old politician was shot on June 7 in Fontibón, west of this capital, while giving a campaign speech.

Despite numerous surgeries, his neurological prognosis has remained confidential ever since.

At the beginning of last week, the Colombian Public Prosecutor’s Office formally accused the under-15s of shooting the politician.

So far, six persons have been arrested in connection with the attack, four of whom are being held at the premises of the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
