Members of Colonel Martinez's Search Bloc celebrate over Pablo Escobar'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 Medellín cartel.
Update: As this image represents more that half of the total page views on my account, I decided to add a referrer to a more official source for this image, at Rotten. It's not that I don't appreciate the page views (mostly from search engines), but it seems right to emphasize that this is not my personal work. I only posted it here to avoid hot-linking to someone else's host.
