Things must be bad...

When even the Guanacos are worried about coming to Guatemala. It has been reported today that emails are circulating in El Salvador advising its citizens to steer clear of their neighbour, owing to the present state of criminalidad. Given that the murder rate can reach 20 on a bad day, Guatemala City is looking as attractive a tourist destination as Baghdad right now.

Meanwhile Manuel Antonio Recinos, director and Bladimiro López, alcaide of El Boquerón maximum security jail, plus 22 of their staff have been collared for the murders of the four senior police officers, themselves arrested just a few days ago for the assassinations of the three Salvadorean parliamentarians and their driver. Eye witnesses say prison staff openly allowed a group of armed men into the facility to carry out the killings.
