Buenaventura - Colombia's armed forces announced its biggest capture of outlawed right-wing paramilitary fighters on Monday, parading before the press teenagers in T-shirts and plastic sandals accused of killing 40 peasants in a gruesome Easter massacre.

The navy said it captured 46 members of the ultra-right United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia.

Officials said they were closing in on 30 other fighters in the jungle near the Pacific port island of Buenaventura, and had killed four paramilitaries in weekend combat.
