December 1993, Pablo Escobar Gaviria is dead... Colombian government forces, aided by the United Stated Central Intelligence Agency, bring Escobar's reign of terror to an end. Everyone agrees Escobar's ways can never again be part of Colombians' life. Out of this operational necessity, a new type of soldier is born, one capable to operate quietly, to infiltrate by stealth, and terminate targets behind enemy lines, without any backup, and under impossible conditions. Sicarias were both feared and respected for their exceptional skill and tactics, for their mental and physical toughness. Trained from a young age, they were both fiercely loyal and capable soldiers. This is one of their stories.
