gunmen shot dead a Colombian congressman in a nightclub in what
appeared to be a professional hit, police said today.

A police spokesman said the motive for the killing of Arcangel Clavijo, a
member of the Liberal Party, was unknown.

The gunmen walked up to Clavijo in the club outside the country?s third
largest city of Cali, 185 miles southwest of Bogota, and fired at him several
times before fleeing.

Wilson Borja, a fellow congressman, said that Clavijo had mentioned his
security problems and death threats.
