I've just watched a fascinating documentary I recorded on BBC Scotland the other night, "Killing Escobar", about a group of mercenaries hired by a rival drug cartel in Columbia to kill Pablo Escobar. The reason it was on BBC Scotland was the leader of the group was from Glasgow. I'd never heard the story before, thoroughly captivating watch. It was planned to the last detail and had every chance of success but one of the two helicopters crashed in the Andes in low cloud en route to carry out the mission.
I don't know if its been shown south of the border but I'd recommend it, Its on Iplayer and catch up on Sky.
