U.S. politicians and congressmen reacted on Aug. 11 to the death of Colombian senator and presidential candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay, calling for justice for the perpetrators of his assassination.
Uribe Turbay, of the Colombian conservative Centro Democrático party, died early this morning after spending more than two months in a hospital following an attack in which he was shot twice in the head and once in the leg during an election event in the Modelia neighborhood of Bogotá on June 7.
