The death of Miguel Uribe, two months after the attack against him, marks a return to the worst period of political violence in Colombia.

Political violence has become rarer in recent years, with the government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia reaching a peace deal in 2016.

Colombia bid farewell on Tuesday to Senator and presidential pre-candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay, who died Monday after succumbing to injuries from a June assassination attempt, in a solemn ceremony at Bogotá’s Plaza de Bolívar that silenced the usually bustling political square.
