The Mexican army and large rancher hired "guardian blancas" (white
guards who are mercenaries, many of them are former CIA) have this
weekend have been killing massive numbers of Chiapas indians and
are now in the process of burying them in mass graves, some of
them in northern Guatemala in hopes of avoiding detection.

Subject: Unconfirmed Fighting Saturday Morning
I received a call from a friend early this morning who had received a call
from Chiapas saying that serious fighting was occurring in Chiapas this
morning. According to this secondhand information, the military had began
an offensive and already local hospitals were full.
