Luis Mario del Basto Cerón
Luis Mario del Basto Cerón is a retired Colombian Army major known for his involvement in anti-narcotics operations during the height of drug trafficking in Colombia, particularly against notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar. He was the commander of a failed assassination attempt known as 'Operación Nápoles', which aimed to eliminate Escobar in 1989. The operation was compromised due to a helicopter crash, leading to its abandonment, but it highlighted the intense conflicts between rival drug cartels and the Colombian military's efforts to combat them.
