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. )
