A senior leader of Colombia's largest criminal gang, the Gulf Clan, is among eight people killed in an air strike carried out by the country's armed forces, according to President Abelardo de la Espriella.

De la Espriella said he had personally authorised the bombing targeting the Gulf Clan in the province of Antioquia, in north-west Colombia.
