Pablo Escobar as Pancho Villa?

The late Colombian narco-trafficker assumed the classic pose of the Mexican revolutionary in one of a number of photos of Escobar’s life showcased in the Sunday magazine of El Pais, the Spanish daily. Escobar poses with a broad Mexican sombrero, rifle and cartridge belts crossing his chest. Is that a bottle of tequila on the table?

The snaps are from a new book, "The Memory of Pablo Escobar," a visual biography by James Mollison.
