One killed in attack on striking teachers in Mexico
8/24/2006
 

          OAXACA, Mexico, Aug 23 (AFP): Chaos engulfed the southern Mexican city of Oaxaca Tuesday as gunmen killed one man in an attack on protesters who seized broadcasting stations and sealed off the city with burning barricades.
Hospital sources said one man died of gunshot wounds, and protesters supporting a three-month-old strike by local school teachers said two others had been abducted by the attackers.
Federal authorities claimed the gunmen were deployed by state Governor Ulises Ruiz in a bid to dislodge the protesters from a state-run radio building they seized on August 1, but the governor denied any responsibility.
The protests have severely affected tourism, a major source of income in Mexico's impoverished south.
