Oaxaca – la Ciudad de la Policía Federal, author – malyfred, 2007-01-31

Grinding poverty, corruption, and electoral fraud have turned Mexico into a cauldron of social unrest. Nowhere has this been more acute than in the state of Oaxaca. A botched attempt to crush a massive teachers’ strike last June led to open rebellion against the state government.

After over five months of open insurrection, the federal government finally sent in the Federal Preventive Police (PFP) on October 29 to quell the revolt. They used as pretext the death of an American IndyMedia reporter Brad Will and two other protesters who were killed by police thugs. (more …)

A MAFIA victim was forced to watch his wife and teenage son having their throats cut and then being shot before he was also killed the same way.

The 56-year-old businessman and his family were executed by hitmen after he cheated Godfathers in a deal over prostitutes for nightclubs.

The bloody massacre was carried out in the cellar of their home in Brescia, Italy, after neighbours saw three well-dressed men entering the house with attache cases.

Police say the man had been dealing with a Mafia family in the southern city of Reggio Calabria.

The massacre has left Italy shocked, especially because two victims were a woman and child -traditionally left out of bloody Mafia vendettas.
