BOGOTA, April 7 (Xinhua) -- Families of Colombian paramilitary victims demanded Monday that the former paramilitary chief Carlos Mario Jimenez, better known by his alias "Macaco," stand trial in Colombia for crimes against humanity.

The call was made after Colombian President Alvaro Uribe signed Friday a decree approving the extradition of "Macaco" to the United States to face charges of illicit drug trafficking and money laundering.

The victims families' lawyer Alirio Uribe explained that if "Macaco" is extradited, his "more serious" crimes will go unpunished. More:
