Columbia ? Soldiers swarmed onto a farm Monday and captured one of the world’s most wanted drug lords hiding in bushes in his underwear.

Diego Montoya, who sits with Osama bin Laden on the FBI’s 10 most-wanted list and has a $5 million bounty on his head, allegedly leads the Norte del Valle cartel. It is deemed Colombia’s most dangerous drug gang and is accused of shipping hundreds of tons of cocaine to the U.S. since the 1990s.

Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos told a news conference at Bogota’s airport that Montoya was responsible for 1,500 killings in his career.

Montoya, 49, is to be questioned before being extradited to the U.S., a process Santos said would take at most two months.
