Massacre in El Peten, Guatemala

Terrible news coming out of Guatemala the past few days about a brutal massacre of 27 migrant farmers (some are reporting 29) in El Peten, the northern part of the country. It's suspected that the Zetas, a Mexican drug cartel, are behind the killings. President Alvaro Colom has declared a 'state of siege' in the region to enable police to go after the suspected killers. The Central American Politics blog has synthesized the varying news reports into one blog post.

Please pray for the peace of Guatemala.
