Uribe denies meeting with paramilitary leader

Former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe released a statement Tuesday denying that he ever met with the ex supreme leader of paramilitary organization AUC Salvatore Mancuso.

This comes a day after Salvatore Mancuso revealed in court that he had met Uribe when he was governor of Antioquia, although the former paramilitary head refused to elaborate further.
