According to Reuters, Diego "Lord of War" Montoya was captured by Columbian special forces while cowering in his underpants in a shallow hole hidden by a pile of leaves. From the report:
"I lost," Montoya told his captors after special forces troops swept in to nab him at the farm where he was staying with his mother and relatives after months of cat-and-mouse with authorities, government officials said.
His arrest was a precipitous fall for one of the FBI's 10 most-wanted fugitives. Colombia said it was the biggest blow to the drug trade in years, perhaps since police shot dead Medellin cartel boss Pablo Escobar in 1993 and later imprisoned leaders of the Cali cartel.
This is quite a fall from grace for someone who was touted as a real-life Scarface. But if I had to choose between "caught cowering in your underpants" or "shot dead," I guess I'd still go with the underpants. Brings new meaning to the phrase, "Say hello to my little friend..."
