Russia rising so fast after using north korea as distraction to develop ultra sonic missiles, contract done and now kim jong un bowed to pressure...

Is better to have America as leading world power than kremlin, they eliminate whosoever stands their way.

Meanwhile, the only intelligence our country provide is orienting presidential advance team on diplomatic protocols and security.
NIA need to be grounded, foreign affairs ministry can provide those services.

The only thing u are good at is politicizing anything with yr dead brain cells.
You said the military were in dapchi when the girls returned, I believe the federal government already said that its part of the negotiations to safely return those girls home. so military offensive was totally shutdown during their period of captivity.

If this huge development is a scam, it wll have been uncovered since abduction by those political enemies of Pmb who are hell bent on bringing him down, by the international community who supervise every efforts of the government, and by the united nations who constantly monitor such moves.

Sir, You have stop even writing of Kanu who you used and dumped for your political gains.

Crime12 Things You Probably Don't Know About Pablo Escobar by DrRasheed(op): 4:33pm On Mar 13, 2018
Pablo is one of the best drug lords the world will ever
know. He transformed the meaning of the drug lord and
change everything about the world of narcotics. He is the
true example of power and chaos all in one. With the best
backup plans he knew how to get what he always wanted.
He had money more than the government and the
country. He had the power more than the president of the
country.
All the forces of all the countries combined searching for
Pablo and still were unable to achieve their goal. He was
also known as the king of cocaine. He was considered as
one of the most dangerous people on earth at that time.
He is also known as the wealthiest criminal in the history.
Even now the criminals look up to him, he is also known
as the pioneer of organized crime. He was 10 richest man
with an estimated amount of $30b
Pablo
Escobar achieved quite a lot in his 44 years. Much of it
chronicled in Netflix's hard-hitting series Narcos .
With the first season now on DVD and Blu-ray we've
assembled some facts about the famed drug lord to help
uncover the man behind the myth.


Pablo Escobar got rich of the cocaine trade.
Stupid rich.
At the height of his powers, Pablo’s Medellín drug cartel
was considered to be in control of 80 per cent of the
cocaine that was shipped to the US and worth something in
the region of $25billion. At the height of their powers, the
cartel was smuggling around 15 tonnes of cocaine per
day. In 1989, Forbes listed him as the 7th richest man in the
world with a personal worth of over $3 billion.
The Godfather and other nicknames
He had many nicknames one that he was most known for
was The King of Cocaine however during his life he had
many other names including: Don Pablo, El Doctor (The
Doctor), El Mágico (The Magician), El Padrino (The
Godfather), El Patrón (The Boss), El Señor (The Lord), El Zar
de la Cocaína, (The Tsar of Cocaine)
He had so much money he used to spend
$2,500 a month on rubber bands to hold his
cash.
According to Pablo’s accountant and brother Robert, such
was the amount of cash held by the Medellín drug cartel,
that there were spending something in the region of $2,500
a month on rubber bands to wrap it all. Just get some cling
film, surely?



He’s still regarded as something of a Robin
Hood figure in his hometown
Born the son of a farmer in Colombia’s second city
Medellin, Pablo often talked of the poverty gap that was all
too apparent in Colombia. Pablo used a portion of his
wealth on developing real estate in his hometown, building
barrios, parks, football stadiums, hospitals and churches in
the area. To some, he was regarded as a working class hero
come good, saving the poor while government officials did
nothing.


He was responsible for over 4,000 deaths
Those that didn’t take the silver option however, were often
killed as Pablo made his bloody rise to the top of the drug
trade. In total, the Medellin drug cartel was said to be
responsible for approximately 4,000 deaths including rival
drug lords, government officials and civilians. Make nothing
of the myth, Pablo Escobar was a bad man.
He had so much money he lost millions
annually to rats nibbling this money.
With the majority of the Medellín money held in storage in
various warehouses, a good percentage of Pablo’s ill gotten
gains had to be written off due to “spoilage”. Be it water
damage or rats nibbling at his $100 bills, Pablo Escobar
wrote off more cash than most people earn in their
lifetimes.



He buried his treasure like a pirate
Due to the amount of cash that was coming in per day,
around $60m at the peak of his career, they had to hide the
money somewhere. One idea was to use plastic oil drums
so that the money could be buried. There were reports in
2012 that a Colombian farmer found over six hundred
million stashed away in one of these drums. Anyone up for
a trip to Colombia with a metal detector?
He once burned $2 million to keep his
daughter warm
Sensing a theme here? Pablo Escobar’s life is once
characterised by great violence funding great wealth. In
1991 Pablo was on the run after escaping from luxury prison
La Catedral. Staying in a farmhouse in the hills of Medellín,
Pablo’s daughter soon fell ill with pneumonia, so in order to
keep her warm he used nearly $2 million as kindle for fire.
He even built his own prison
By 1991, Pablo had gained one too many enemies and was
under threat of being extradited from Colombia to the
United States. Making a deal with the Colombian
government, the kingpin had a custom luxury prison built –
La Catedral, which he agreed to served a maximum of five
years in rather than face American justice. So Pablo built
his own prison, and then filled it full of luxuries including a
football pitch, a waterfall and a telescope that allowed him
to look directly into his daughter’s house when he was on
the phone to her. Oh, he walked out on La Catedral after a
year. By using a back door.
He was a cut throat negotiator
Pablo started his trafficking character in 1975 and fast
gained a reputation for his no nonsense negotiating style.
Those who would oppose him were often asked “plata o
plomo” – “silver or lead”, offering the option of bribery or
facing death. Many government officials chose the silver
option.


Still questions on who took the fatal shot
On 2nd December 1993, Escobar was shot in a gun fight.
He suffered shots to the leg and torso during the fight
between him and his bodyguard and the Colombian Police.
Who made the fatal shot to his head is still unknown. Some
say that it was the police but his brothers speculated that
he committed suicide as they said that if he was ever
cornered he would shoot himself between the ears.



His funeral was chaos
Over 25,000 people came to pay their respects to Escobar
as a lot of people saw him as a hero. Douglas Farah, from
the Washington Post and another writer from the Los
Angeles Times were covering the funeral but were attacked
as they were American as some blamed the press for his
death and portrayal in America.
