Seven Colombian taxi drivers will to the United States to face charges in the killing of a U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency officer on June 30, last year.
With help from human rights organizations, the U.S. government argued for the seven suspects' extradition for a trial in Virginia on Tuesday. The men are among the 94 Colombians extradited this year to be tried in foreign courts.
DEA agent James "Terry" Watson was murdered while on assignment in Bogota. After watching the NBA finals at a bar in the city, the off-duty agent got into fake cab that was part of a robbery scheme.
At a stop light, two other men got out from another taxi and jumped into Watson's vehicle, attempting to rob him. According to officials, Watson resisted and was stabbed. The agent managed to break out of the taxi, but succumbed from his wounds.
Within days of the crime, Colombian police and U.S. officials captured seven suspects in connection with the crime. They now face kidnapping and murder charges.
The arrest was aided partly by evidence from 40 videos recorded by surveillance cameras.
