Former President Alvaro Uribe's possible connections to paramilitary groups in the 1990's will be investigated...again.
The attorney general's office has reopened a criminal probe of Uribe's ties to far-right paras while governor of Antioquia state in the 1990's...primarily because of testimony by 2 jailed militia members.
His lawyers claim the former militia thugs are lying.
Uribe was president of Colombia for 8 years...from 2002-10.
