Colombia, where more than 50 judges have been killed in the last decade, said it will increase its protection of the judiciary. Police Gen. Miguel Maza Marquez told reporters in Bogota, the capital, that judges handling sensitive cases will be given offices inside bases of the national police and the elite state security department. His pledge came after about 18,000 judges and judicial officials went on strike to press for more protection after the recent gangland-style slaying of a colleague.
