Municipalities Of Colombia
The Municipalities of Colombia are decentralized subdivisions of the Republic of Colombia. Municipalities make up most of the departments of Colombia with 1,122 municipalities (''municipios''). Each one of them is led by a mayor (''alcalde'') elected by popular vote and represents the maximum executive government official at a municipality level under the mandate of the governor of their department which is a representative of all municipalities in the department; municipalities are grouped to form departments. The municipalities of Colombia are also grouped in an association called the ''Federación Colombiana de Municipios'' (Colombian Federation of Municipalities), which functions as a union under the private law and under the constitutional right to free association to defend their common interests.

Pedro López (serial Killer)
Pedro Alonso López (born 8 October 1948) is a Colombian serial killer and child rapist who murdered a minimum of 110 young girls from 1969 to 1980 and claimed to have murdered over 300 victims across Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. Released from a Colombian mental facility in late 1998, his whereabouts are currently unknown. Aside from uncited local accounts, López's crimes first received international attention from an interview conducted by Ron Laytner, a freelance photojournalist who reported interviewing López in his Ambato prison cell in 1992. Laytner's interviews were widely published, first in the ''Chicago Tribune'' in July 1992, then in the ''Toronto Sun'' and ''The Sacramento Bee'' later that month, and over the years in many other North American papers and foreign publications, including the ''National Enquirer''. Apart from Laytner's account and two brief Associated Press wire reports, the story was published in ''The World's Most Infamous Murders'' by Boar and Blu ...
