Dr. Hugo Spadafora was a dashing young [[Panama|Panamanian]] doctor who became a hero to many Panamanians as an unusual mix of revolutionary warrior and middle-class professional. He fought alongside [[Eden Pastora]] against the Somoza dictatorship in the 1970s, leading an international brigade of jungle fighters, the Brigada Internacional Simón Bolívar, in support of Pastora's southern forces. The [[DEA]] called him "reportably the best known guerrilla fighter in Central America."[^1]
