Paramilitaries ally with rebels for drug trade
Formerly archenemies, Colombian right-wing paramilitaries and left-wing guerrillas have put their differences aside, working together in the illicit-drug trade.

In recent months, U.S. and Colombian authorities have noticed an alarming amount of direct contact between right-wing paramilitary groups and left-wing guerrillas from the country's largest rebel group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC.
