Attack on DAS
On December 6, 1989, the Medellín cartel attempted to assassinate the then director of the Administrative Department of Security, Miguel Maza Márquez, who had become one of the main authorities involved in combating the drug lord Pablo Escobar.
Five hundred kilos of ammonia dynamite, detonated nine floors below, was just a shudder that pushed General Maza Márquez's chair, and caused the floor to be covered with shards of ceiling and security glass. Outside the armored office, however, the scene was different: it was 7:37 a.m. and at the intersection of Carrera 28 and Calle 18A in Bogotá, in the Paloquemao sector, the most powerful bomb attack in the history of Colombia had just taken place. 600 wounded, 63 dead, of many of the deceased only remains were left, scattered even on the roofs.
Outside, the files of the courts, whose headquarters were next to the DAS, fell like a paper rain on the street, where 34 cars passing by were reduced to flaming skeletons and a crater 4 meters deep and 13 meters in diameter closed the scene of a war field.
The explosion affected premises in at least 10 blocks around and blew up hundreds of decadactyl cards that were in the building, a paper rain that only announced more dead.
Asi fue el atentado al edificio del DAS que mató a 63 personas. (December 6, 2020). El Tiempo. [image]. (website). www.eltiempo.com/justicia/investigacion/bomba-al-das-se-c...
