I personally do not celebrate any murder, but his death did not surprise nor horrify me. Live by the sword...................

His death was well worth celebrating, shame they didn't manage to get all the other cocaine barons. I expect similar scenes will be played out in Mexico soon enough, sadly.

Wonder if they used that as the troop's Christmas card. That's fucked and so was Pablo, his life makes for a hell of a story though.

Well, the Search Bloc (the guys in the photo) had seen so many of their friends and family kidnapped, tortured and murdered by Escobar's sicarios that it was a deeply personal mission for them to nail the bastard, so highly understandable they wanted to celebrate over the corpse of the scumbag. Their leader, Col. Martinez had to suffer death threats against himself and his entire family, so imagine the relief when they finally got him. How many thousands of people were killed on Pablo's orders? There is a superb book about Escobar called Killing Pablo by Mark Bowden. That photo appears in the book with this caption:

Members of Colonel Martinez's Search Bloc celebrate over Pablo's body on December 2, 1993, in a photograph taken by DEA agent Steve Murphy. Pablo's death ended a fifteen-month effort that cost hundreds of millions of dollars. It was the deathblow to the Medellin cartel.

There are no good people in this story, the Search Bloc are extremely stupid putting their faces on this, Pablo is gone, but his gangs of Sicarios are still around and they 'work' from photos. Many will see this as a matter of duty & honour, they frequently lost friends and family at the hands of Government death squads who would happily kill any, or all of your relatives if they could not find you.

Pablo was mainly famous for killing Policemen and Judges, as well as the occasional rival, far more innocent people are killed by the FARC Geurillas, including smokers, just for being suspected of smoking weed, right up to this day.

The Medellin cartel fell apart after Pablo's death, the Search Bloc wanted the others to know who had got Pablo, the sicarios already knew exactly who they were, the Search Bloc and their families had been living with death threats for years. They were saying 'we got the fucker and now we're gonna get you too!'

Col. Matinez was definitely a good guy, he was one of the very very few who refused Pablo's huge bribes and payoffs and stayed honest, a man of honour, basically, it was him and his son's incredible doggedness and dedication to hunting Pablo down that finally brought results, so many others took Pablo's money or gave in to the pressure of the death threats.

is it really pablo on that photo ????
why would somebody agree to answer a journalist phone call and engage in a 45 min conversation after all his safehouses have been busted thanks to phone calls between memebers of the gang ......many unanswered questions about the final hours of pablito .........That he deserved it is out of question!!!!

Yes it's definitely Pablo, his mother turned up and identified him, with someone as wanted as Pablo they made very sure they had got the bastard.

The questions are many, but one big one is was it really Search Bloc who killed him or a US team working with them who quickly scarpered before they started taking pictures.

The Medellin Cartel did not so much fall apart as split into 5, all now dead or extradited... iirc Don Bernardo was the last one out and they just got him ... now it has split into many many groups around Medellin but they tend to stay there now,believing they are safer. The Mexicans now run it into the States and the Venezualan Generals [buddies who have not quite made it into Chavez's inner circle of Ministers who are looting the real big money from the state] are running it ...known as "5 Star Coke" and several West African states have been bought up to move it to the Galicians boats and via land to Morocco.

Interesting story about Col. Matinez, and the missing Americans, I wonder what the truth really is, the Army are meant to be even more bent than the Police, they have even caught Army units doing hits, in uniform, for drug gangs....
