Colombia - Carlos Castaño's Body may have been found
We won't know for sure until all the forensics are done - about 3 months - but looks like they may have found Carlos Castaño's body. It would appear that one of his Brother Vicente's henchmen did him with a head shot on the brother's orders. Motive aappears to be that Carlos was going to turn himself into the US on the drug trafficking deal and Vicente couldn't have that.
For those that read Spanish:

Castaño was, IMO, the most dangerous man in Latin America before he was KIAd. He had intel on EVERYBODY. He was a pretty amazing man and his story is well worth the time to research.

Roger. But that isn't a very good article. All of the good stuff is in Spanish.

i struggled through the article, with help from a dictionary and a tangential knowledge of a couple of latin-based language (Phrench and Eyetalian)...the Wikipedia version is basically a Reader's Digest transliteration...
NDD, i firmly believe you are trying to get me killed with that stuff...

There is a really good book written with his cooperation - Mi Confession - if you read Spanish...
