One of the most feared women terrorists in Columbia has been nabbed. Katrina, 40 yrs, had a fearsome reuptation in Antiquia province of Columbia. She was dying of starvation along with her colleague. Carrying an award of $80000, Katrina was known for extorting big money from Businessmen.

A leading commander of the Farc rebels in Colombia has surrendered to the authorities, officials say.
Nelly Avila Moreno, known as Karina, was blamed for a string of murders and abductions, and for extortion in the north-western Antioquia region.
Her surrender is a coup for President Alvaro Uribe who made her a priority target for the security forces in 2002, the BBC's Jeremy McDermott says.
Farc has been fighting to overthrow the government for more than 40 years.
