They are drug traffickers.

I understand the Colombian president only recently sent the military into this zone, and only after groups from outside the country went looking around to see what was going on, but is it helping? I don't think so.

The two right wing gangs kill people by chopping off their limbs, beheading them, etc., in special houses for the purpose.
