BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombian prosecutors say they will seek murder charges against a former deputy director of the country’s domestic intelligence agency in the 1994 assassination of leftist Sen. Manuel Cepeda.

Prosecutors issued a formal accusation on Tuesday against Jose Miguel Narvaez, a former Navy officer and prominent rightist.

He has been jailed for two years awaiting trial on charges of criminal conspiracy and illegal wiretapping in a domestic spying scandal.

The new accusation alleges Narvaez was the mastermind of the Cepeda assassination and cites testimony from jailed far-right warlords.

Looks as if Uribe got his money's (or, actually, the taxpayers's money's) worth from this dedicated a-hole.

A former deputy director of Colombia's intelligence agency DAS ordered the assassination of a leftist politician by paramilitaries, the Prosecutor General's Office said Tuesday.

According to prosecutors, there is enough evidence that prove the responsibility of Jose Miguel Narvaez in the murder of the prominent Union Patriotica politician.

Narvaez, already in jail for his responsibility in the illegal wiretapping of political opponents of former President Alvaro Uribe, has been accused by paramilitary leader of being their representative in the intelligence agency.

Judicial sources told Spanish press agency EFE that human rights prosectors linked ex subdirector of DAS Jose Miguel Narvaez to the murder of leftist senator Manuel Cepeda Vargas in 1994
