1. Personality profile on
SG1A
BACKGROUND :
In an open source letter to a Colombian newspaper,
claims to be serious about a negotiated surrender.
He
believes the U.S. government must take part (even if only
unofficially) in the negotiations. He claims his reasons for
surrender include: a) love of family; b) to demonstrate how
deceived are those who have labeled (him) a big drug trafficker
and the "chief" of the Call cartel; and c) because the law of
nature tells us we must respond for our actions by surrendering
to justice, but in no way to injustice, as the General Prosecutor
of the nation wants.
SG1A
also claims there has been a generational change in
drug trafficking; that there are many people today under 30 years
of age who have no criminal records and are not known by
Colombian or DEA officials who are working in the drug business
full time. He also says there are many cartels, not just one,
all-powerful, Cali cartel which does everything and of which he
is the head.
Our questions :
SG1A 1. How sincere is
about
surrendering?
2. If he does surrender, does he plan to retire from
narcotrafficking, or merely to maintain a "low profile" and still
run the business from behind the scenes?
3. Does he plan to appoint a successor?
2. Colombian Drug Submersible
BACKGROUND :
On 22 Sep 94, the Colombian Coast Guard seized an
abandoned 23 ft submersible vessel in Guachaquita Bay, just
northeast of Santa Marta on Colombia's north coast. This was the
second submersible-type drug vessel seized in less than 18
months,
(The first craft, seized in May 93, was a semi-
submersible, designed to ride low in the water, but not submerge;
this second craft is believed to be capable of short, shallow
dives and was also designed to be towed by another vessel.)
HUMINT sources indicate both types are being built in the
vicinity of Santa Marta, CO. Reportedly they are being used to
transport drugs in the Caribbean region.
Our questions :
1. Concerning the second vessel (submersible) :
how many are in
existence?
Where are they located?
Describe the builder.
Is the builder also a trafficker or an

detect ?; etc.)
