<P> The Cali cartel then hired a member of Colombia's military and civil engineer named Jorge Salcedo . They wanted him to help them plot an assassination on Pablo Escobar . They hired him because they heard that Salcedo had in the past, befriended and hired a group of mercenaries to wage war against the left - wing guerrilla forces in an operation sanctioned by Colombia's military . The mercenary group was made up of twelve former special operations soldiers, including the British Special Air Service . Jorge Salcedo felt it was his patriotic duty and accepted the deal to bring the mercenaries back to Colombia and help plan the operation to kill Pablo Escobar . The group of British ex-soldiers accepted the offer . The cartel provided food, housing, and weapons to the mercenaries . The plan was to attack Escobar at his Hacienda Nápoles compound . They trained for a few months until they heard Escobar was going to be staying at the compound, celebrating the fact that his soccer team had won a tournament . They were going to be inserted by use of two heavily armed Hughes 500 helicopters and surprise - attack Escobar during the early morning . They painted the helicopters to look like police helicopters to further confuse them . They took off and headed towards the compound but one of the helicopters ended up crashing onto a mountainside, minutes away from the compound . The pilot was killed during the crash . The plan was aborted and they had to conduct a rescue mission up the dense mountainside . </P> <P> Finally, Escobar went to prison, where he continued to run his Medellin Cartel and menace rivals from his cell . The second plot to kill Escobar was to bomb the prison by using an A-37 Dragonfly surplus ground - attack jet bomber in private ownership . The Cali Cartel had a connection in El Salvador, a general of El Salvador's military who illegally sold them four 500 pound bombs for about half a million dollars . Jorge Salcedo flew over to El Salvador to oversee the plan to pick up the bombs and take them to an airfield where a civilian jet would land to pick them up and take them to Colombia . But when the jet landed at the airfield they found that it was a small executive jet . They attempted to load the four bombs, and what was planned to be a few minutes, it took them over 20 minutes . By this time there was a crowd of civilians that had gathered at the airfield curious about what was happening . Only three bombs fit, stacked in the small passenger cabin . The jet took off and Salcedo abandoned the fourth bomb and went back to his hotel . The morning after, the activities of the night before were all over the news . Salcedo barely escaped El Salvador and arrest before the botched pickup was exposed . Law enforcement had discovered the bomb and some of the people involved in the operation were arrested, and they told authorities about the plot to kill Escobar with the bombs . The Cali Cartel then decided to abort the air bombing plot . </P> <P> There was no turning back for Salcedo . The Colombian government labeled him a criminal now working for the Cali Cartel, and his employers would not let him go anyway . Salcedo then settled into managing security for the Orejuela family, but then he was forced to witness an execution of four Panamenians, and tasked with organizing the murder of Guillermo Pallomari, their own cartel accountant . Salcedo faced a choice: to kill or risk being killed along with his family . Salcedo then decided to retaliate and save Pallomari and himself by contacting the US Central Intelligence Agency and work as an informant . This proved to be the death blow to the Cali Cartel . For his service, Salcedo and his extended family were relocated to the US and he received rewards of about $1.7 million . </P> <P> The counter-intelligence TN Education Centre of the Cali Cartel often surprised the DEA and Colombian officials . It was discovered in a 1995 raid of Cali Cartel offices, that the cartel had been monitoring all phone calls made in and out of Bogotá and Cali including the U.S. Embassy in Bogotá and the Ministry of Defense . The laptop allowed Londoño to eavesdrop on phone calls being made as well as analyze phone lines for wiretaps . While officials were able to discover the use of the laptop, it is reported they were unable to decrypt many of the files due to sophisticated encryption techniques . Londoño was also believed to have a person within the phone company itself, which the officials realized when he was able to recognize a phone tap, one that had been placed directly at the phone company, instead of at his residence . Londoño's lawyer soon sent an official notice requesting the legality and requesting the warrant if one was produced . </P>
