Guatemala, Violence Increases
Three armed individuals Thursday
attacked a public bus in the
Guatemalan capital killing the
assistant and leaving the driver
seriously wounded.
The acts, motivating the
presence of the Civil National
Police Director Erwin Sperisen
took place in the capital´s
Reforma Avenue.
Sperisen said that those acts
are not only related to the
juvenile gangs but to the
existence of destabilizing
groups.
The criminal acts, so far
committed in the outskirts where
public transportation service
has been paralyzed many times,
include attacks, extortions,
blackmails and death threats,
part of the dangers suffered by
over 3,000 bus drivers every
day.
In some regions criminals charge
drivers for a sort of a traffic
tax and murder those refusing to
pay for it.
