(Reuters) -Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe is in extremely critical condition after undergoing surgery to tend to a brain bleed, the hospital treating him said on Monday.

Swelling in the area is persistent and his brain bleed remains difficult to control, the hospital added. Uribe was shot in the head at a political rally earlier this month.
