Officials: Top Colombian drug trafficker captured (AP)
BOGOTA, Colombia ? Colombian authorities say one of the country's most-wanted drug traffickers has been captured in Venezuela.
The U.S. government had offered a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Maximiliano Bonilla Orozco, who is best known by his alias "Valenciano."
U.S. officials allege Bonilla has sent tons of cocaine to the United States through Central America and Mexico, dealing extensively with Mexico's violent Zetas drug cartel.
Two senior Colombian officials told The Associated Press on Monday that Bonilla was arrested by Venezuelan and Colombian police, but they could not immediately confirm when or where.
The officials Monday spoke on condition of anonymity due to the subject's sensitivity.

Green's catch carries Bengals
By JOE KAY
updated 5:12 p.m. ET Nov. 27, 2011
CINCINNATI - A.J. Green did it to the Browns again.
The rookie receiver made a leaping catch for a 51-yard gain in the final minute Sunday, setting up a field goal that rallied the Cincinnati Bengals to a 23-20 victory over self-destructive Cleveland.
The surprising Bengals (7-4) stayed right behind Baltimore and Pittsburgh in the AFC North with another second-half comeback forged by their rookie big-play combination.
Andy Dalton threw a high down-the-middle pass that Green went way above the defenders to grab. Green was run out of bounds at the 2, and the Browns (4-7) forced Cincinnati to settle for Mike Nugent's 26-yard field goal with 38 seconds left ? the Bengals' first lead of the game.
Cincinnati's turnaround season started in Cleveland, where the Browns failed to line up promptly and were surprised by a quick snap that led to Green's uncontested 41-yard touchdown catch.
That one was easy. This one was amazing.
Green, who sat out a loss at Baltimore last Sunday with a bruised right knee, set up the winning kick with his catch-and-run. The first-round draft pick had three catches for 110 yards. The Browns and Steelers had been the only teams in the NFL that hadn't allowed a 100-yard receiving game.
For the second time in three games, a botched snap cost Cleveland an opportunity to take a late lead. Phil Dawson was short on a 55-yard try with 1:51 left after the snap skipped along the ground, giving Cincinnati its last chance.
It was a familiar outcome for the intrastate rivalry ? Cincinnati has won 12 of the past 15 games and six of seven at Paul Brown Stadium. Only 48,260 showed up at the 65,500-seat stadium to see a game decided by a bad snap and a great catch.
Cleveland was buoyed by the return of running back Peyton Hillis, who missed the past six games with a strained left hamstring. He carried 19 times for 65 yards, helping the Browns put together long drives.
The Browns scored 20 points for only the second time this season and were in position to take the late lead when the bad snap resulted in Dawson's short kick. He'd already connected from 32 and 54 yards, his longest field goal of the season.
It was a stunning gaffe. The Browns had a chance to take the late lead two games ago against St. Louis, but a bad snap scuttled Dawson's 22-yard field goal with 2:13 left and sent Cleveland to a 13-12 loss.
Dalton had the challenge of bringing the Bengals back in the second half against an AFC North opponent for the third week in a row. They came up just short against Pittsburgh and Baltimore, but remained in the thick of the playoff competition by pulling one out against Cleveland.
Down 20-10 late in the third quarter on Sunday, Dalton helped the Bengals get the rematch. He was 21 of 31 for 270 yards and his 16th touchdown pass of the season, topping Greg Cook for the Bengals rookie record. Cedric Benson carried 21 times for 106 yards, his second 100-yard game against the Browns.
Colt McCoy was 16 of 34 for 151 yards with a pair of touchdowns. His fourth-down pass was knocked away at midfield with 10 seconds to go, sealing Cincinnati's win.
McCoy's 24-yard pass to Jordan Norwood capped Cleveland's opening drive and gave the Browns their first touchdown in the first quarter all season. They'd managed a total of nine points in the opening quarter until then.
McCoy's touchdown pass to Greg Little made it 17-7 at halftime, more points than the Browns had scored in any of their past five games. Little dropped numerous passes, including one on Cleveland's last possession.

'Small Business Saturday' Aims To Lure Bay Area Shoppers From ...
(Photo by David Paul Morris/Getty Images)
SAN JOSE (CBS SF) ? After shoppers competed for discounts largely in major chain stores on Black Friday, several Bay Area cities are encouraging shoppers to take part in ?Small Business Saturday?.
The national campaign is in its second year, and encourages shoppers to spend some time on Saturday doing their holiday shopping in small, locally owned businesses.
San Jose recently officially proclaimed today Small Business Saturday, encouraging residents to visit San Jose businesses, saying the campaign aligns with the city?s Shop San Jose Initiative.
?These initiatives are an important way to connect our residents with the many great shops, restaurants and small businesses located here in San Jose,? Mayor Chuck Reed said in a statement after the proclamation.
Councilwoman Rose Herrera added that shopping locally can help create local jobs. ?Buying goods and services in San Jose helps create local jobs as opposed to shopping with an out-of-area retailer,? she said.
The town of Danville is also encouraging residents to shop locally today, reminding them that by shopping locally they can help the city maintain public services by generating sales tax revenue.
Oakland got a head start Friday as a group of vendors came together to try and lure shoppers back to stores damaged by Occupy Oakland protests.
Brick and mortar vendors and pop-up stores, food stands and musical performances came together to create ?Black Out Oakland.
Despite acts of vandalism, some store owners say they still support the Occupy movement. In turn, Occupy Oakland supported the event.
Small Business Saturday was started last year by American Express, and offered statement credits for American Express customers who used their credit card to purchase goods at small businesses that day.
The campaign has even picked up national support from the Obama Administration, which announced that various Cabinet secretaries and other Administration officials would be shopping at small businesses throughout the country Saturday.
