Guerrillas killed right-wing paramilitary leader Juan Gonzalez and three other people in a bar shootout, police said.
Gonzalez was drinking with two militia members and a woman in a village near Tulua on Monday when about 20 guerrillas stormed the bar and sprayed it with gunfire.
Police said the guerrillas were suspected members of the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and that Gonzalez commanded the Calima Front of the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia.
