For those of you that know some Spanish, below is a link to radio station TGRN, FM 105.3, Radio Peten. Also AM 1460.
They have a discussion board and printed news as well as an audio link. No surprise people are reporting vehicles with police and military all over the place. In some areas they are going door to door and searching homes. They killed a couple of dudes in Santa Elena while carrying out one such operation. They also closed all the schools.
Very heavy duty and scary.

I am canceling all trips to Tikal for the immediate future. Its a shame, not just for visitors, but the people living in these areas. My Doctor is from Guatemala and her dad sold their farm close to this area, as it was getting hot and dangerous back then. Drug trafficking has been going on in the area for a while. But now that the MX govt is becoming more proactive in their war against drugs, the gangs have moved south into Guatemala to ply their trade and take over what the Guats were handling. Sort of like a buy out without consent or payment. Not even an offer you can't refuse. Its serious and as long as there is profit in moving drugs, its will continue. Great story on Frontline on PBS last night about meth production and its movement into and thru the states and the damage its done.
