Colombia's president replaces finance minister in surprise move


    BOGOTA (Reuters) - Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos replaced his finance minister on Wednesday in a surprise move and will name current Energy Minister Mauricio Cardenas to take over running Latin America's fourth-largest economy.
