ईतिहासका धेरै कालखण्डमा यस्ता हजारौँ बर्ष अगाडि दफन गरिएका लाशहरु भेटिएका छन

The mystery of Carlos Horacio Urán's long-ago murder should have ended the day Colombian authorities disinterred his body in 2010. But it was only the beginning. The government refused to issue two subpoenas to his killers. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights condemned President Juan Manuel Santos' handling of the murder. And now, exactly 30 years after the slaughter of Urán and 129 others, a flawed peace process promises to steamroll the whole issue once and for all.

"For 22 years, they fooled us into thinking Carlos had died in the crossfire," says Ana Bidegain, Urán's widow and a Florida International University professor. "Now all we want is that they recognize they have done damage to our family — and that it happens to no one else."

The November 6, 1985 raid on the supreme court in Bogotá, where Urán died, was a seminal event in both America's War on Drugs and Colombia's half-century-old civil war. Fueled by $1 million from drug kingpins including Pablo Escobar, Communists stormed the Palace of Justice and gunned down lawyers and judges. Then the army counterattacked, killing dozens more. Somewhere in the chaos, reams of legal records that might have convicted Escobar and choked off drug imports to the United States were incinerated.
