A very special greeting…
Long live Pablo Escobar Gaviria!
His mother was a school teacher. His father was a farmer
who worked on a farm. They had no economic resources.
POLICE
Pablo Escobar came from a humble background
and knew the needs of his people.
Drugs are menacing our society. They're threatening our values,
and undercutting our institutions.
They're killing our children.
We want you to say no.
Knock drugs out of your life by just saying no.
Just say no.
It's estimated that about 96 tons of cocaine
were smuggled into the U.S. last year.
We are indeed trying to do everything government can do
to combat drug traffickers.
The main ideology of our movement is public spirit,
nationalism, social programs.
From any point of view, we are being slandered and attacked
for false information
and for harmful words
launched against us by our political enemies.
It arrived in our homeland
as it arrived in more than 60 countries of the world.
Gaviria was also the only candidate
who promised to continue extraditing
some cartel leaders to the United States for trial.
107 are dead in Colombia in a plane crash.
The plane went down minutes after taking off from Bogotá.
It might have been a bomb,
and there is one claim that drug dealers planted it.
Colombian police continue to find and destroy hidden runways,
dismantle cocaine labs, and search for Pablo Escobar,
head of the Medellín drug cartel.
Colombia's drug lords responded today to the government's new Get Tough policy.
They declared war on the government.
Hundreds of Army troops,
scouring the countryside for Colombia's most wanted man.
So far, Pablo Escobar has outfoxed them.
Pablo Escobar died as he had lived, violently.
His death may well be the final blow to the Medellín cartel.
