History: The Assassination of German Jimenez Panesso

An interesting article at Guns America, "Drugs, Guns, and Money," that describes the 1979 assassination of drug kingpin German Jimenez Panesso in Miami. Panesso was a Columbian who headed a drug smuggling syndicate in South Florida. As befits an article in a gun magazine, there is particular attention to the firearms used in the "hit": a silenced .380 Beretta Model 70S, and a Mac 10 machine pistol. Check it out.
