Slaughter moves to Guerrero
El Sur
(Acapulco, Guerrero) 5/4/08
Sixty to seventy killers dressed in "AFI" (Mex. Fed.
Inv. Agency) arrived in a convoy of ten vehicles at the house of Rogaciano Alba
in Petatlan, state of Guerrero. Alba is the ex-mayor of Petatlan and was also
president of Guerrero's Regional Cattlemen's Union. But he has also been rumored
to have links with narcotraffic.
Then, some twenty four hours after the execution of seven men in a hotel in
Iguala, Guerrero, the killers opened fire on Alba's house and killed thirteen
persons including some of Alba's family and employees. Alba was not home at the
time.
(Our report of 5/3/08 relates. Petatlan is on the coast, halfway between
Acapulco & Zihuatenejo, Guerrero)

(Note: the correct source for yesterday's "Uncontrollable slaughter" op/column
was "a.b.c." ("Grupo Miled"), a Mexico City paper, rather than "Milenio".
Also, the junction of the Intn'tl. Labor Day (May 1st) and 5th. of May has made
for an extended holiday weekend throughout Mexico. )
