Delta Force KILLED Pablo Escobar...

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- In 1991, the notorious Pablo Escobar, fled from Colombia to Bolivia in an attempt to evade capture. He went into hiding, but his whereabouts were eventually discovered by a team of Bolivian Leopardos, who were working alongside American advisors from the DEA and Navy SEALs. The raid on the ranch house was carried out at the request of the CIA. When the team made entry, they found cups of coffee on the table that were still warm, indicating that they had just missed capturing Escobar.
The United States government was under increasing pressure to capture Pablo Escobar, a man who has since become a legend. This was a significant foreign policy issue, and Special Operations Command-South was tasked with planning several capture/kill missions targeting Escobar, following his return to Colombia after the failed Bolivia raid. Despite launching personnel, logistics, and assets into Colombia on multiple occasions, JSOC was unsuccessful in capturing Escobar, leading to mission failure.
In his memoir, Delta Force commander Jerry Boykin recounts the intense hunt for Pablo Escobar, codenamed Operation Heavy Shadow. The mission was approved by the White House, and General Bill Garrison personally contacted Boykin at Delta. "I want you to go down there," Garrison said. "Select a few folks to take with you. Keep it small," (Boykin, 229). Boykin handpicked Squadron Leader LTC Gary Harrell, along with operators SFC Joe Vega and SFC Tony Mafnas to join him. Harrell also chose Sergeant Major Jack Alvarez to round out the team.
Upon arriving in Colombia, Harrell and Alvarez were tasked with establishing liaisons with the local police, particularly the "Search Bloc," which was leading the hunt for Escobar. Delta's role was to remain discreet and operate behind the scenes, with the operation primarily led by Colombian authorities. Meanwhile, Mafnas and Vega set up a sniper observation post that overlooked the Medellin valley, where Escobar was suspected to be hiding. Using their advanced observation equipment, they were able to visually confirm reports received by SIGINT platforms flying overhead.
Colombia's Search Bloc police unit, equipped with SIGINT gear provided by the United States, received a positive hit on Escobar's location, which was traced to his mother's house. A Search Bloc member visually confirmed seeing Escobar in the second-story window of the house, talking on the phone. Upon receiving this information, a Delta operator at Tola Maida swiftly assisted in preparing the assault team and getting them ready to hit the target.

Your mini-documentaries are awesome. You give just enough backstory before moving on to the meat and potatoes, where you don't spend a lot of time on meaningless details. I love it. Far too many mini-docs spend half the video on backstory and/or bounce back and forth between the backstory and the main story so much they become messy and hard to follow. Yours are the only ones I don't constantly skip ahead, or give up and stop watching. Keep up the great work man!
Could and should be longer. Short docs are for short brains.
Yeah I watch em bc they are good no bc they are short but I would love some longer vids like his 15-30 min ones I think are great
now you know what to do when you get to college.
@@johntaylor-lo8qx Curious for you to say that since you're here. Short docs are a summation of their contents, not a college thesis. Different formats for different purposes.
Do you Honestly believe the DEA would be blind to such a high Volume Trafficker of his time? Let me ask you another question did the Hit for him come in after or before he offered to settle Columbia's National Debt to the United States?
The prison he was in wasn't really a prison. Pablo built it for himself.
Prison is defined as "a building in which people are legally held as a punishment for a crime they have committed or while awaiting trial." There's no mention of quality of life. He was in a prison. Would you say criminals in America who still give orders from prison aren't IN prison because they can communicate with the outside world? No. He was in a prison, one of his own construction. But it was a real prison. It had guards that kept him inside.
@@RogerCharlamange K
@@RogerCharlamange that is true, but was he really serving a punishment if he had free access to hookers and guns, drugs and other sorts of entertainment? Not to mention he could walk out if he wanted ?
@@RogerCharlamange the gaurds where all payed by him and only him, they let him leave when he wanted to escape lol
@@cadenibz it was a prison in name only. It was just his fortress. He had all the luxurious he wanted inside. Prostitutes, beer, party rooms, soccer fields, he was still murdering people and running his cartel from inside. To the point where the Colombian government had enough and tried to move him to a real prison but he got word of it and escaped
When I was in Iraq, ‘07, a guy in our platoon’s dad was a Full Bird and SF. He told us how his dad was part of this mission and that they didn’t want the Americans to take pictures with the dead body. (Pretty much his dad told him that operators killed Pablo)
Funny how your country has a massive rep for stabbing people in the back after they are no longer useful to your gov... Also What's he bragging for anyway? He's gonna not be remembered for this so I'm guessing he like most Yankees a clout chaser. Go and pick the big fight with Russia already and stop using poor countries as proxy army's!
Which makes sense, they’d want the Colombian people to trust their authorities so if it looks like local cops got him, that’s better.
@@Reidc123 that and they didn’t want pictures of American operatives to get leaked and people know who they are.
Bullshit 😂
Isn’t there a picture of a DEA agent next to his dead body?
There was also a failed attempt by some ex SAS operators led by a Scotsman called Peter McAleese. They were going to carry out an helicopter assault on Escobars Hacienda Napoles estate, however one of the two helicopters crashed in bad weather on the way to the target. There was a movie released a few years ago called 'Killing Escobar'.
Oh yeah aleese worked in the 70' iranian siege
Source: trust me bro
It is clear to be fake.
No EX - SAS members took the action since they were retarded from the service.
Think there was 1 or SAS ops and the rest were mercenaries!
Peter Mcaleese is an interesting fella, served in the British SAS, security contractor, mercenary in Angola, Rhodesian SAS, South African Pathfinders.
@@liability443 John McAleese was in the 1980 siege ,blew the windows out .Not related to Peter.
If it was a SEAL he would be on every major news doing interviews, and on Joe Rogan's pod cast😂

You forgot one major thing Steve Murphy and Javier Peña we’re not on the roof when Pablo was killed. Javier Peña was called away on other business right before the final raid took place. Kind of a big thing to miss.. love your content man.

It’s a blessing and a curse. A blessing because they’re excellent mini docs, but a curse because I wish they were so much longer 😂
Excellent work, Popo.
I agree with this 💯
You do such fantastic work man. I really like the editing and your militaristic no nonsense way you talk.
I love how it's just straight to the topic and no 5 minute intro. Respect
This channel is fire. From the music to the editing and narrator. Wow. Binged it crazy past few days. Sick channel.
I've heard this story a bunch times in a bunch of ways (including being alive while it all happened). Your "short" video the best one!
agree, i love this channel! i wish he could do 1 a day but with the detail it would be alot of time.
That's why I don't buy all of this. It's a "story" .....book sales or not. It's still a story until we see proper documents. Which sad to say.....we wont
@@martyguy8185 I agree. Unless I see harder evidence I'll give the Columbians credit for the kill.
@@kutter_ttl6786 right..not knocking the "effort" into the "sting".....but that word will still be in parentheses until the good old boys in the US, give us some real info. Not a book ( for sales) and some cast here or on "looper" . And it thoes pages think the people with brains believe this......they need to restructure there format to "deliver" info.
@Kutter_TTL what makes you think the Colombians did it? Vs the Americans? What does it say in the documents you read?
Keep up the good work man!

This is my kind of video, everything about it is just perfection. I love the edits, the music, the narration.. the script, allofit. Keep making videos exactly like this pleaaaase!
Someone once asked why the snipers in general, but in SOF and SMU’s comes from one thing, and one thing only. Hundreds of thousands of shoots in training. When I was in a particular unit, we took four good soldiers to the range, we got their baseline proficiency. One trooper was allotted 200 rounds, another got 1000, the next 1500 and #4, the weakest shooter at the start line got 2000 or 2500. After 2 weeks of range time, independent of each other, we brought them back together and reshot the test. The level of difficulty was raised, however, that only impacted the first soldier. The other 3 kids’ performance was directly in proportion to the number of bullets they fired. SMU snipers are good because they do a shit ton of trigger pulling. In Afghanistan, we were able to almost double the number of SEAL snipers by pairing them up with the NZSAS. The Kiwi’s did the majority of the spotting. While the SEALs are not great at field craft, they more than make up for it with pretty good shooting.
Damnit dude, dunno what it is but I feel so damn good every time one of these videos comes on, I think it could be the Hotline Miami vibes lmao

Incredible video, Popo Medic! It's amazing to see the Delta Force's impact on history. I also love how the Fantaclaus app enhances interaction with commenters. Keep up the great work!
Delta Force didn’t unilaterally kill Escobar, but they absolutely facilitated it. It was a combination of the Delta Force advisors, the ISA SIGINT platforms and the rogue paramilitary group know as Los Pepes that brought Pablo do his death.
it took the US, Colombia and illegal groups to kill escobar, that's how dangerous he was.
Ironically los pepes had funding from Pablo's arch nemesis the cali cartel. And after pablo died they went on to form the right wing paramilitaries in colombia that fought against the left wing insurgents farc. And of course they all still trafficked cocaine. But escobar still needed to go. No one wanted him alive anymore.
After the plan colombia program in 2000 by Clinton. Homicides and terrorism went down in colombia thankfully. But unfortunately the Mexican cartels just grew in power after the Colombians largely went out of business in the 90s.
Its amazing how many people have not read Boykins autobiography.
You got some bad info bud.... but that's the way Delta operates. They always give the credit to someone else.
I love how this was presented. I read Killing Pablo about 20 years ago, but I never tire of the good stories of these operator types who live right on the ragged edge for decades. Bowden's books are a right cracking read, and my copies are a bit ragged these dayys. Fuck knows what you should cover next, but I'll certainly check it out. Have a great weekend mate.
Barry Seal was Pablos best delivery man trained by the C-A, died with Bush #’s in his pocket and they bought his plane I mean flight logs. Cocaine Bear, Barry Seal special delivery. The movie American Made was called Mena until 9/11/15 when a plane crash killed three pilots and it got a rewrite. David Ferrie trained Seal and Lee Harvey Oswald and got cancer before he was indicted for JFK. GHW made Pablo a billionaire. Gary Webb tried to tell us.
I had a book about Pablo written by his brother, Roberto. Was a top read, lent it to a mate and never saw it again… standard
He suicide to avoid capture
If im correct
He always told his son that if hes captured by enemies then he should always shoot him self in the right ear
And he has bullet hole in his right ear
@@openminded-jm2oc they weren't gonna capture him. They were gonna kill off. Capturing him wasn't an option anymore
@@jonathanramos8414 indeed,, but he might believe he gonna be tortured and have worse than death fate so i think he suicide
Dont forget that those who kill him or capture him will earn many money so why risking to loose money because he suicide but only few knows and its those whos with him when he died
Holy shit, bro. Everything about this video is fucking fire. The editing, music, pacing....great fucking job!
Most of the best Operators in US History people will never know about until they have passed and you physically attend their funeral, if even then.
True Story.
the absolute best operators they actually use for things like cia drug trafficking and human trafficking
Yea because they’re illegal
Pablo was not in real prison, they let him build his OWN prison.. it was like a damn resort.. they were so scared of him and so many police were bought by him, they knew what he could do.. American DEA were the first to come and really start searching for him.. great video popo!!! 😊😊
it would've went better for him if he stayed in and ran the empire from there.
or even made a deal to fake his own death and go out with the money.
@@Gh0_-st didn't he left after he killed dude or 2 in there?
@@Gh0_-st The Colombian government were about to move him to a real prison, so he had no choice but to escape/leave.
Bro these dea agents were corrupt as hell
Hershel is a living legend. He served in Vietnam as a SEAL also and retired as a command master chief. He’s one of the finest Americans I know.
Had a couple of questions that came to my mind: 1) If the sniper who took the shot was actually a part of the Colombian Search Bloc, I feel like they would at least have been recognized for being the person who shot and killed Escobar. He was a high profile target. 2) If it *was* Delta, we've heard about other high profile targets Delta has gone after capture or otherwise; Uday/Qusay, Hussein, Qaddafi, Aidid, Al-Baghdadi. I understand 'quiet professionalism' could be the answer but if we heard about the others, what's the rationale for staying so quiet on Escobar? In other words, if it got out that it was in fact a Delta sniper, what ramifications would that have?
The Americans were really hated over there at that time. They were causing issues on both sides of the field. The sole rule of the final engagement was for Pablo to be killed by Columbians and not an American. Technically, the Americans weren't even supposed to be there any more but stayed anyways. The Columbian govt and the cartels would have perma banned the Americans from ever doing operations in Columbia. Everything that the Americans were doing at that time were either borderline illegal or straight up Illegal.
You cannot forget the fact that Los Pepes was co-founded by a DEA agent that the Columbian govt knew about and the DEA were also aware and both parties simply ignored them so they could do the dirty work. Los Pepes was also feeding the DEA and Search Bloc information. The Columbian people would have also been pissed and guaranteed there would have been a huge uprising and over throw the govt. There was a lot of tension between the people, the govt and the cartels. The shot that killed Pablo will never truly come to light regardless of who killed him. But it's like a 100% sure thing that it was a Columbian who shot him and not an American.
You make all excellent points, however, I think you overlooked one big point. Let's just say it really was a Search Bloc shooter who took out Pablo Escobar. They make an official recognition of the Columbian and most Columbian citizens would immediately declare him a national hero. Unfortunately, around the same time that officer, along with his entire family/in-laws would be decapitated. Even though Pablo wasn't as powerful at the time of his death there's going to be someone who wants to avenge Escobar and if not them, it would be some other Cartel sicario who would probably do it, not because they give a shit about Pablo - they don't - but to send the message, "This is what happens when one of you kills one of us!"
Did you ever notice how covered up all Mexican special police & special military units are? You can't see a postage stamp-sized piece of skin. Those dudes are facing the same fate. If their identities are revealed, Mexican Cartel killers are going to have your family in pieces before the next sunrise. Scary shit...
People were and are afraid of cartel bosses and kingpins. Nobody wants to put their name on it, unlike some poverty low resource terrorist group
@@alb639mark Bowden interviewed alot of the search bloc officers that hunted Pablo for his book
It's crazy that Garrison was also the general during the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, what a storied career that man had
Colombia, somalia, Vietnam, desert storm. Legend
Wasn't that a tremendous fuck up?
I always look forward to these mini docs. You and your team do amazing work 👍
It was confirmed in a recent podcast that from a Delta guy that Delta Force did NOT kill Pablo Escobar, but was advising the person/people that did shoot him.
Delta will never take credit and always gives someone else the credit.
@@jeffreyanderson9622after the bin laden raid the seals got lots of media attention and it sort of went to their head cough cough Rob o niell cough
@@jeffreyanderson9622it was Colombian police officers that killed him. Elite search bloc officers. CIA helped with the easdropping tech on his whereabouts
'Reclaimed the mantle'? He never let it go. He was giving orders out of his own personally built prison. It's also well documented their involvement with tracking him down and that many people's faces could not be on camera. They did not send the shot that killed him but were active participants.
I was just binge watching your content and glad that I caught one released today. Keep up the amazing work Popo!

Largest man hunt in Canadian History, also the first time an aircraft was used in a manhunt in history. The pilot? Wop May, the last pilot to be pursued by The Red Baron.
So many cool tidbits in the story, you should really look into it.
These videos are AWESOME! Love the tension you create. Love the synth music. Love the presentation. Love the chapters. Keep them coming!
The only medal of honor recipient to be filmed. It was a cct guy with navy seals. Navy seals kinda left him to die and he basically came back to life.
SEALs needed an ego check decades ago.
@@aarone1981 left behind or not. A squad of highly trained seals retreated. Leaving a single man behind. Albeit they team was shot up. But this one can cleared multiple enemy fighting positions single handedly. Not sure they really had to "push" to get it. What he did was heroic and incredible.
@Zimmer Stone Because it eats into the SEAL PR fight. They aren't supposed to leave people behind. They left Chapman because he wasn't one of the boys and they didn't give a shit. They routinely left people behind, especially early on.
I've worked with them a couple times and I hate dealing with SEALs. They're asshats.
@@genore1993NSW were cock blocking chapmans MoH for years because they wanted the seal team leader sablinksi to get one too for basically fuck all. They said that it wasn’t chapman on the ridge but just a bunch if insurgents fighting amongst themselves. Still, to this day the navy refuses to admit they did anything wrong. Also sablinski is a legit war criminal. He admitted to knowingly killing civilians in Afghanistan more than once but again NSW just brushed it off. He was only discharged after a senator overheard him bragging about it and threatened to go public with it.
Your editing on this one was excellent! Great content brother!
The way you make your videos make the user really get sucked into the story. It’s awesome man love it.
You make incredible content sir.
This is eerily similar to “Clear and Present Danger” by Tom Clancy which came out in 1989, 2 years before this situation went down with Escobar. In the book the US is able to find a drug lord by using voice identifying technology that is monitoring the phone calls in the cartel’s home area. Clancy was psychic man, this isn’t the only example of him predicting future events
Was thinking the very same thing while watching
Clancy wasn't psychic. He did his research, and he did a lot of it for his books, and he was very good at drawing logical conclusions from the information. I watched a recorded talk he did at the NSA about The Hunt for Red October and how through 4 lines of text in a newspaper article and some educated guesses, he predicted the size and function of the so-called "F-19 Stealth Fighter" which would be revealed years later to be the F-117 Nighthawk. In the same talk, he mentioned how he guessed at the parameters of Aegis cruisers based on the stat blocks in the Harpoon table top game. Clancy knew his stuff really well, and he could read the patterns of cause and effect of events. It seems like psychic fortune-telling to us mere mortals, but it's just the result of really good analysis.
@@shura0107 which is honestly way more impressive than being psychic. He was a very bright man and these kinds of details just make his books that much more special. Truly a one of a kind author
Great Fan of Clancy here too 😊
There's also Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands. That game definitely drew some inspiration from the hunt for Escobar.

I read Mark Bowden's book. I highly recommend it. Great video content on this. However, I think the credit for the actual kill goes to Search Bloc. DEA and Delta all provided logistical and tech support for the killing of Escobar.
Yeah and they were in country too. Doing advisory roles.
Great video as always
I have a recommend as you are getting into military fire fights. What's been one of the more unsung crazy fights called 'Battle of Mirbat'. 10 SAS soldiers and some local fighters and police against attack by horde of hundreds of rebels, the local garrison mostly ran away and hid when they saw the horde of rebels coming down from the mountains. There was a lot of heroism in this but particularly a Fijian SAS soldier Labalaba who ran to a position at an Anti-Tank gun, a good distance from the rest of the SAS squad, and he was repeatedly shot, iirc even in the face, and kept single handedly operating a frickin anti-tank gun, a howitzer which is normally operated by a few men, firing it at the enemy who were all going for his position, the rebels got so close he was firing the howitzer even at point blank range, eventually he died in the fight.
A good documentation of it is the second half of the video on TH-cam "SAS The Soldier's Story - The Gulf War and Oman, The Battle of Mirbat", also on TH-cam "SAS's Rorke's Drift: The Battle of Mirbat July 1972" had good details.
Lol They had air support, a 82mm mortar, the howitzer piece against adoo fighters with bolt action rifles 😂.. The battle of mirbat would of been a typical day in Laos and Cambodia for SOG teams in 1960s-70s
@@joesgotya9930 They didn't have air support, the battle went on from dawn to around midday when the arrival of the jets ended the battle. A handful of soldiers with 1 mortar and 1 WW2 gun against hundreds of Soviet trained and equipped soldiers is not an easy fight.

I'm glad you're bringing light to these stories. I'll be honest, I didn't know Pablo was killed in a US raid. I can't pinpoint a story you should cover next, but if you ever feel like going behind the meat of the story, maybe you could upload more context to a second channel? Either way, I'm enjoying the quick cut stuff thanks!
Your editing style and sound design are worthy of awards if indeed awards were given for such things.
I love your videos, but the background music is hard to hear over some times. Like the newscasts at the beginning are totally drowned out by the music.

Nice documentary. Simple, short, clear & concise. It's good that they didn't officially claim that Delta was the one killed Pablo, allowing deniability. That's how such missions should be, clandestine or covert.

I love, love, love what you do and how you do it! Better than anyone else! Keep up the great work.
i think it goes without saying that you should absolutely cover the raid on Osama's compound.
You should look at shawn Ryan's interview with Rob O'neill it's a 3 hour interview with no unnecessary interruptions just sit back and listen a good listen tho
He already hads
@@thebbqbandito2868 He hasn't yet. Popo Medic has 31 videos and none of them are on the Bin Laden raid.
This and the norco video of yours I fully endorse.
My dad was an army ranger stationed in South America during his deployment. He has never told me anything about it and gets very angry when asked. I only know that he helped train local military forces. It's crazy to think he was a part of all this.
You might be drawing connections where there aren't any. South America is a whole ass continent you know. We have troops on every continent
@@jeffm3283the only Latin American nations we have troops in is Honduras, Puerto Rico, and panama I think. And Cuba because of Guantanamo bay
RIP MG Harrell. A patriot and hero to those who worked for him.
The edit and music was top notch
Love these short docs! Keep them coming!
Could you provide some sources with some less known facts about the last few years of his life, in particular the relationship between Delta force and his downfall? I found the video very insightful
Can you do a video about Dakota Meyer and the Battle of Ganjal? He's the second youngest living Medal of Honor recipient. My cousin Gunnery Sgt. Aaron Kenefick died that day, and Dakota made sure his body came home.
I served with Aaron in Germany. He was a great guy. RIP
@@billlawrence8520 Yes he was, thank you.
I'll say it again, you and Garand Thumb need to work on a movie together
From beginning to end...on all vid..choice of views + sound......very good. It almost makes me feel like I'm part of this and everything else in this world....say this as my heart almost pops out of my chest...
This is EXACTLY the kind of mission Delta would have been used for.
They are the diplomat soldiers alot like the green berets
Great video! One thing, Javier Peña was not present when Escobar was killed. He was back in America at the time. I believe he had gotten reassigned. Not sure if that’s why though. Seriously though, I love when you release new vids man. They’re always so well made and informative!
He was transporting a young girl named Ellie at the time who’s blood held a vaccine to a virus that was ravaging Columbia at the time im pretty sure
I’m still here for the terminator like music. On some of those early ones you did…. It really helped set the tone and woooooooah factor.
No idea how your channel came up on my feed, but daaaamn wish it came sooner! Love it!
Do one about Gary Webb, the Contras, and how the CIA was behind the crack epidemic.
Freeway Rick Ross would be cool too
Cover the Moscow theater hostage crisis
I am new to the channel and love the content, however the music is a little obnoxious due to volume. Music choices are legit
Not to knock any of your other content, but these mini docs are by far my personal favorites. Keep up the good work, man
Another outstanding production, thanks and keep up the good work.
You forgot to mention that escobars prison "La catedral" or "the cathedral" was more akin to a luxury resort as part of Escobars deal with the government was that he gets to make his own prision.
Edit: that delta force shot pablo is plausible however its just a rumor for now, and it's also believed it was Colombian authorities who killed him, however its very possible it was DF.
I doubt he forgot to add that, he posted what was relevant
