Guatemala, UN to Probe
Bus Killing
Guatemala - The
International Commission
against Impunity in
Guatemala (CICIG) will
assume investigation of
the killing of 15
Nicaraguans and one
Dutchman in the eastern
department of Zacapa.
The mass murder occurred
on November 8, when a
bus from Nicaragua
crossed the El
Salvador-Guatemala
border and was
intercepted by unknown
people, who killed the
passengers and then
burned the vehicle.
The Public Ministry
hopes those responsible
for the crime are found
with the advice of the
CICIG experts.
That commission was
created through an
agreement between the
Guatemalan government
and the UN to
investigate and
dismantle parallel
groups entrenched in the
State structures.
There are several
hypotheses about the
incident, but the most
recurrent one is that
between 18 and 22
kilograms of cocaine
were being smuggled on
the bus.
