Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria (1949 – 1993) was a Colombian drug lord and narcoterrorist who led the Medellín cartel, and amassed a fortune of $30 billion at the time of his death (equivalent to $56 billion in 2019). Pablo began his criminal career during his teenage years, and became a well-known smuggler by the 1970s.
Pablo began recruiting children in hope for a possible war against the government. While waiting for Gaviria's response, Pablo began ordering the assassinations of judges, politicians, editors and journalists who opposed him. Escobar's men began recruiting children from the slums to work as scouts, delivery boys and killers for the cartel.
Escobar refused to move, prompting Gaviria to send in the military to lay siege upon the prison on 22 July, 1992. Escobar demanded a renegotiation, fearing that he would be extradited to America if he left his prison. Gaviria sent Sandoval to the prison complex to negotitate with Escobar.
Escobar took advantage of the kidnapping, and united all of the narcotraffickers to form the Muerte a Secuestradores, an organization led by Escobar which aimed to end the kidnapping. Using his army of sicarios, Pablo clamped down on M-19, forcing them to release Marta.
Escobar was indicted for the murder of Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, and the Colombian government agreed to an extradition treaty with the United States for anyone related to narcotic trafficking charges. Escobar feared extradition the most, and formed Los Extraditables with his partners to fight extradition.
However, Escobar survived the attack. The bombing caused Escobar's daughter Manuela to turn permanently deaf on one ear.

Duque became a target for the enemies of Escobar because of his status as the only man connecting Escobar to politics, and Los Pepes sought to assassinate him. In early 1993, Duque narrowly escaped a drive-by assassination attempt when gunmen in a neighboring car fired Uzis at his car, killing a bystander.
