Carlos Lozano, editor of the leftist weekly magazine "La Voz," said "a credible source" revealed there is a $200,000 bounty on his head. Lozano said that Daniel Rendon Herrera, alias "Don Mario," the jailed founder of right-wing neo-paramilitary group "Los Urabeños," ordered his assassination "soon."
A January article in weekly magazine Semana claimed Don Mario continues to run the drug trafficking organization from his Bogota prison cell, where he has been since his 2009 capture.
"I need to warn the criminals who ordered my assassination, you do not intimidate me. They cannot silence me," said Lozano.
The journalist is also a member of former Senator Piedad Cordoba's humanitarian group, Colombians for Peace. Cordoba and other members of the peace organization have been the recent targets of alleged neo-paramilitary assassination plots.
