A Colombian senator, congressman and four others were killed on Sunday in a
helicopter crash in the mountains north of Bogota, a state police commander
said.
The helicopter apparently had turned back to the capital because of bad
weather before plunging to the ground, killing all on board, Cundinamarca state
police Commander Yesid Vasquez said in an interview with RCN television.
Senator Roberto Camacho and Congressman Efren Bejerano were among those
killed in the crash 40 kilometers (24 miles) north of the Colombian capital in
the state of Cundinamarca.
