Colombian Senator Uribe Turbay in Critical Condition After Brain Surgery Following Shooting

Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay is in critical condition after brain surgery following a June 7 assassination attempt, where he was shot twice in the head during a campaign rally. The incident has reignited fears of political violence reminiscent of the 1980s-90s. A 15-year-old suspected shooter and two adults are in custody. Uribe, a conservative presidential hopeful, hails from a prominent political family. Though the FARC dissident faction denied involvement in the attack, Colombia has seen a surge in violence, including bombings and gunfire in several cities, as rebel groups fight for control in the absence of the disbanded FARC.
