Imtiaz Mahmood(@ImtiazMadmood):Execution of Tupac Amaru II. After having led a rebellion against Spanish rule was executed after being forced to watch his son and wife executed before him. The Spanish attempted to pull him apart by horses. This failed and he was then beheaded. It's also the name of a South American guerrilla group. It was in the news in the 1980s every night. I didn't know they named it after him. Didn't even know about him. I remember Tupac the rapper talking about this in an interview and always wondered what that was about.
