Alleged Colombian assassins thought to be behind 200 murders are held | The Sun |News: "TWO suspected hitmen wanted for the murders of at least 200 people were cornered by armed cops yesterday.
They swooped on dangermen Henry Marin and Mauricio Sepulveda in Spain.
Last night cops were probing possible links between the alleged Colombian assassins and British 'Costa Del Crime' gangs smuggling cocaine into the UK.
The pair are said to have fled to Valencia in eastern Spain after unleashing a reign of terror ordered by drug godfathers in their own country.
Marin, 36, was nicked in the port city, while Sepulveda, 44, was captured at nearby La Eliana.
Both men are believed to have sought refuge in Spain after the break-up of the so-called Self-Defence Units of Colombia - a gang of hitmen working for cocaine cartels.
They are also wanted for kidnappings and torture in Colombia.
Their alleged victims include Colombian footballer Albeiro Usuriaga Lopez, who was gunned down in February 2004.
A Spanish source said last night: 'Police will be looking at possible links between these men and the European criminal underworld, including British drug traffickers.'"
