Army helicopters arrive to a temporary jail to transfer top paramilitary commanders to a maximum security prison in La Ceja, Colombia, December 1, 2006. Toughening its stance against right-wing warlords once unofficially allied with the government, Colombia on Friday transferred to prison 59 militia leaders said to have planned a mass escape from a work farm.
