In November of 1985 30 heavily armed terrorists believed to have been trained by the PLO of M19 Movimiento 19 de Abril, or 19th of April Movement stormed Bogotas Palace of Justice and captured an amazing 500 hostages. Present in this group were several members of the Council of State and Supreme Court. Unprepared Colombian military units assaulted the Palace and freed many of the hostages. However, in the hail of bullets and recoilless rifle fire, over fifty hostages had been killed. Included in the death toll were eleven members of the Supreme Court. Nearly twenty of the terrorists had been killed, but eleven soldiers had lost their lives in the process.
