Pablo Escobar was the leader of the Medellín cartel in Colombia and one of the richest criminals in history.

Era the mayor manufactures the distributor of the cocaine del mundo, responsible entons the 80% of the commercial global de esa droga.

McAleese, an exasentee of SAS – an elite group of British Ejercito-, was contracted by a drug cartel mededinger to eliminate in Escobar.

A new documentary, Kill Escobar (Matar a Escobar), cuenta la historia de esta misión -que acabó en fracaso- y del hombre detrás de la misma.

The filmmaker David Whitney said that McAleese, who was born in Glasgow in 1942, was a “male man” who had a great “interior interior”.

It was created in the bar of Riddrie at the shadow of Barlinnie Prison’s cell, where his father – “a very hard man and violence” – passed some time ago.

In the documentary, McAleese, who is now 78 years old, Doppelstein:

McAleese affirma que dejó la ciudad y if the Ejército is in the 17 years to find a way to channel his aggression.

If you are a member of the Paracaidist Regiment and you are a member of the SAS 22nd Regiment.

Surrender in Borneo with the SAS, participating in a war that took place in the same battle, before the withdrawal of the British Army in 1969, a decision that qualifies as the only one who lives.

McAleese stumbled upon the derivative, taking a job to another “without encroaching”. Dice who feels alone and who his aggression empowerment to the point that the craft is about to grow into a new one.

To recover his liberty, McAleese tended to recreate the emotion of his career in the Ejército looking for action as a “mercenary” in the civil war of Angola and the country in Rhodesia (verklike Zimbabwe), as well as in South Africa.

Connection to Dave Tomkins in Angola in 1976. Tomkins was not a common soldier, so I could negotiate to sell arms.

Ambos is a great friend to Tomkims who joins McAleese to take part in the mission to feed Escobar.

Jorge Salcedo, who was part of the Cali cartel -a drug rival group in Colombia-, was coordinating the attack and I wish Tomkins would recruit a team for the future.

McAleese was the first person to intend to recruit.

‘Geen te piden que aesines a Pablo Escobar a menos que tengas la experiencia requerida”, Dijo McAleese.

‘No tenía conflictos morales sobre matarlo nie. Nunca kyk hy na como un assesinato. I saw it as an objective, ”he said.

The Cali cartel is confident that Escobar will be killed when it goes to its lukewarm Hacienda Nápoles.

The huge property includes a complete zoo full of exotic animals, a collection of cars of antiquities and antiques, a private airport and a square of towers.

McAleese sobrevoló la hacienda to make a reconnaissance of the house and stage of agreement in which the podium will be delivered. The mission was ambitious.

Tomkins equipped 12 mercenaries. Había gente que había trabajado con él anteriormente et personas le habían sido recommended.

Jorge Salcedo helped pass aduana checks and the Cali finance cartel on its stage.

Each one of the men received US $ 5,000 to my guests pero Tomkins cobraba US $ 1,000 al día.

The documentary had access to videos grabbed by Tomkins that included scenes in which the men were playing with large amounts of money.

In principle, they are committed to the city of Cali peri alli corrían the risk of llamar demasiado the attention, asi que if you happen to be in a rural area where they are building a large arsenal of arms.

“Era like Navidad. “Everything we need in terms of arms is all right,” McAleese doubled.

The mercenaries will train for the duration of their mission only Tomkins and McAleese know who he is.

Before the informers, a group member decided to retire and is allowed to go home. It sells its history to periodicals without revealing numbers or detailed details of the operation.

While the moment of attack is approaching, the men transfer their training to themselves, where they can practice with their arms and bombs without being intercepted.

The attack plan involves the use of helicopters for transmitters up to the Hacienda Nápoles complex, where the mercenaries tenían que abrirse camino a tiros a travos de gran dispositi de seguridad de Escobar, matarlo y traer de vuelta su cabeza como trofeo.

When a vehicle is notified by an informant that Escobar is in his ranch, he will pay his bill. Pero el atunque nunca ocurriría.

The helicopter that was transported to McAleese and Tomkins flew while flying high above the clouds over the Andes. The pilot result – death.

The so-called winter days for McAleese were very difficult for them to get rid of.

Possessing great dollars, Tired training in the ladder of the mountain during three days until it was rescued.

Escrow bar about the plan of attack and send his men to the mountain to meet.

“If Pablo’s hustle and bustle, he’s had a long, prolonged and painful death,” said McAleese.

By lying about it, escape and intention coincide with the promises that the goddess of God has already laid down on the ladder of the mountain.

McAleese recognizes that he was a “miserable man, disgraced; una basura ”y que se dio cuente de que tenía que cambiar.

Pero dice que lo lamentaba no eran sus acciones en las zonas de guerra, sino sus fallas como esposo y como padre.

“I have a horrible amount of killings and none of them have anything to do with my life as a soldier,” he said.

78 years ago, I finally found the path.

Tientas tanto, Pablo Escobar murió tiroteado en Medellín en 1993 cuando intentaba huir de las autoridades.
