BOGOTA, Colombia —
The family of fugitive drug lord Pablo Escobar was stopped at the Medellin airport Friday while trying to catch a flight to Miami in an apparent effort to flee his enemies.
Police said Escobar’s wife, 17-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter were prevented from leaving. Colombian law requires both parents sign permission papers for minors to leave the country. Escobar, who escaped prison last July, had not signed such papers.
