The True Story of ‘La Quica’
Dandeny Muñoz Mosquera trained Pablo Escobar's sicarios (assassins) and it took police over a decade to capture him.
Dandeny Muñoz Mosquera — most commonly known as ‘La Quica’ — was the first person ever to be prosecuted by the United States government for acts of terrorism committed on foreign soil. He is responsible for blowing up an airplane, scattering human body parts and scraps of metal over a 3-mile radius in Colombia. He also once blew up an entire daycare center for children in an effort to kill a few police officers.
La Quica trained Pablo Escobar’s sicarios (assassins) — rumored to have numbered in the thousands when the Medellin Cartel was at its height. He personally commanded 140 of them, most of whom were just impoverished teenagers looking to make money by killing people.
He is directly responsible for the deaths of at least 220 people, carving “KK” on a lot of their bodies posthumously. This was because his job was to kill policemen and civil servants and he needed to prove he was responsible in order to be paid.
In short, La Quica is one of the world’s most infamous assassins.
