ReutersColombian police have arrested the alleged mastermind of the assassination attempt against a presidential hopeful during a rally last month.
Miguel Uribe, a conservative senator, was twice shot in the head in the capital, Bogotá, as he was campaigning for his party's nomination in the 2026 presidential election.
Police arrested a suspected criminal, Élder José Arteaga Hernandez, who they say persuaded a 15-year-old to carry out the attack. Four other people had already been arrested, including the teenager charged with shooting Uribe.
Uribe remains in a critical condition. The motive for the attempt on his life on 7 June is unclear.
Colombian police chief Carlos Fernando Triana said on Friday that Arteaga had a long criminal history and was wanted for "aggravated attempted homicide" and "use of minors for the commission of crimes" over the attack on Uribe.
Police say he co-ordinated the assault, hired the gunman and provided him with a weapon.
Authorities had previously accused Arteaga, who uses the aliases Chipi and Costeño, of being near the Bogotá park where Uribe was shot.
The 15-year-old suspect was arrested as he was fleeing the scene. He subsequently pleaded not guilty, the prosecutor's office said.
Uribe, a critic of left-wing President Gustavo Petro, announced his candidacy for next year's presidential election last October. The 39-year-old has been a senator since 2022.
He is from a prominent political family, with links to Colombia's Liberal Party. His father was a union leader and businessman.
His mother, journalist Diana Turbay, was killed in 1991 in a rescue attempt after she was kidnapped by the Medellin drugs cartel.
The 7 June attack prompted silent protests attended by tens of thousands of Colombians.

PA MediaMore than 20 people have been arrested in London after a protest in support of the banned group Palestine Action, the Metropolitan Police has said.
Pictures from the demonstration showed a small group holding placards reading "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action" in Westminster.
As of Saturday, the group is proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000, after lawyers acting on its behalf failed with a court bid to block the ban on Friday.
The designation means that being a member of, or showing support for Palestine Action, is a criminal offence and could lead to up to 14 years in prison.
In an earlier statement, the Met said: "Officers are responding to a protest in support of Palestine Action in Parliament Square.
"The group is now proscribed and expressing support for them is a criminal offence."
The government moved to ban the group after an estimated £7m of damage was caused to planes at RAF Brize Norton last month during a protest Palestine Action said it was behind.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced plans to proscribe the group last month, calling damage to two military aircraft "disgraceful" and claiming the group had a "long history of unacceptable criminal damage".

Elon Musk declared the launch of his new political party on Saturday, a project he has repeatedly floated in the weeks since his explosive breakup with President Donald Trump — but provided no details as to how he planned to jump through the hoops necessary to establish a viable alternative.
The billionaire entrepreneur and onetime Republican megadonor — who mere months ago appeared as the president’s right-hand man in the Oval Office after pouring millions into his campaign — has for weeks publicly contemplated starting a new third party to disrupt the current system.
Musk on Saturday appeared to confirm his intention to launch his “America Party,” after posting a poll to his X account the prior day asking followers whether or not he should create the new party.
“By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy,” he wrote. “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”
Musk’s third-party musings began in earnest after last month’s massive meltdown between the president and his former adviser over the “big beautiful bill,” which the former DOGE head has decried as wasteful.
As Trump on Thursday flaunted his successful push to muscle the Republican megabill through Congress this week, Musk sought to drum up support for his potential third party launch, positing that his new party would target a handful of vulnerable swing seats to leverage political power.
“Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people,” he wrote.
While Musk may have the millions to pour into backing certain candidates — which he has already promised to do, pledging to support Rep. Thomas Massie’s (R-Ky.) reelection campaign amid targeting from Trump — establishing a third party involves a series of thorny obstacles including navigating complex state laws, ballot access regulations and other legal hoops.
So far, the billionaire would-be party founder has yet to outline a concrete plan forward. Just two months ago, Musk had vowed to cut back on political spending, saying he had “done enough.”

v2ex 的彩礼帖子比较多，我也对彩礼进行了一次深度思考。
婚姻 1.0 （农业时代）：夫妻绑定土地，双方共同付出劳动，离婚成本极高。女方出嫁后，娘家失去一个劳动力，彩礼是对这种损失的补偿。这在人力=生产力的农业社会是合理的。
婚姻 2.0 （工业时代）：男外女内分工明确。但问题是女性的隐性贡献（生育、家务、社交维系）无法在资产中体现，存在估值 bug 。所以女方要求彩礼，也是合理的。
婚姻 3.0 （信息时代）：双职工模式，分工模糊。问题出现了，贡献模式已经迭代，但风险对冲工具（彩礼、房产加名）不仅没更新，反而被强化了。这就是系统性 bug 的根源。
简单说就是契约不对等：
这种设计在任何商业场景都不会被接受。一方刚性确定，另一方弹性模糊，道德风险太大。但这种合作却真实的发生在中国每一对夫妻中，其中当然有成功的案例，但是失败案例中，又有多少人再忍受其中的精神的摧残。
现在的剧本把无条件接受女方财务要求包装成了爱的信号，包含三重认证：
一旦你开始计较彩礼，就会被解读为彩礼不足、不够爱、人品有问题。这套逻辑其实就是标准的 PUA 。
当游戏规则本身有问题时，理性的选择就是不玩。
现在越来越多男性开始：
这不是什么低欲望，就是正常的风险控制。
大部分人根本没想清楚这场交换的本质是什么。作为系统受益者的女性更不会去思考，彩礼房产这些都是默认配置，直接勾选就行。
解决方案很简单，更多人（不分男女）应该认识到现有剧本的荒谬性。
男方在面对彩礼房产要求时，同样提出对等的贡献条款。真正的爱应该是敢于直面问题，共同制定公平规则，而不是单方面的无脑服从。
要接受谈判失败的可能性。项目黄了总比进入一个注定有问题的合伙企业强。
我们正处在痛苦的转型期。旧秩序还在，新共识未形成。作为这个时代的男性，确实比较苦逼。
In this ChinaFile dialogue with several experts on Chinese religion, I posit that two Dallai Lamas are likely to emerge in the coming years:
China’s playbook for the Dalai Lama’s succession will be quite straightforward: Beijing will ignore everything that the current Dalai Lama says and try a rerun of the Panchen Lama succession in 1995, which worked out quite well for the authorities.
For those who don’t remember, the old Panchen Lama died in 1989, and in 1995 both the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Dalai Lama camps anointed their own successors. Each one claimed tradition, with the Chinese Communist Party rolling out a series of largely invented customs about golden urns to say that it, as the successor to the Qing dynasty, was following what had gone on since time immemorial, or something to that effect.
Whatever the truth, the tactic ultimately worked in China’s favor: There are two Panchen Lamas, and the power of that position has been fragmented.
Fast forward to now: If Beijing can do the same thing, that’s a big win for the Party’s ethnic policy. Some Tibetans will follow the Dalai Lama approved by the exiles because he essentially will have the imprimatur of the current Dalai Lama. But others won’t be so sure. China controls information and some will celebrate the Beijing-approved Dalai Lama.
More importantly, the new Dalai Lama won’t be appointed right away. Typically, a few years pass before the reincarnated Dalai Lama is found. Even then, the new Dalai Lama will be a kindergartener—not exactly someone mind-melding with Richard Gere and penning profound tracts on life in the 21st century.
The reality is it will be 20 years before the new Dalai Lama can weigh in on public debates. By then, it’s not clear what will be left of Tibetan culture anyway, especially with China racing forward with efforts to eradicate the language.
