“Five people were killed and more than a dozen others injured Monday when unknown assailants hurled a bomb at a bus in the Guatemalan capital.
‘Four people burned to death inside the bus, including a minor, and a woman died on arrival at the emergency room’ of Roosevelt Hospital, a municipal fire department spokesperson told Efe.
Guatemalan bus operators are frequently targeted by youth gangs engaged in extortion and nearly 500 bus drivers and other transit workers have been slain since 2006, according to figures compiled by the Association of Drivers’ Widows.”
