Reputed gangster arrested in killings
Honduran, caught in Texas, is a suspect in a bus massacre
WASHINGTON - A man wanted by the Honduran government for a bus massacre that killed 28 people, including six children, was arrested this month in Texas, the Homeland Security Department said Wednesday.
Authorities described the man, Ever Anibal Rivera Paz, who also goes by the name Franklin Jairo Rivera Hernandez, as the reputed leader of the Mara Salvatrucha, or MS-13, gang in Honduras.
The Central American gang, which has members in this country, is considered violent, and U.S. officials are concerned that they might help sneak al-Qaida terrorists into the United States.
Rivera Paz was arrested Feb. 10 by the Texas Department of Public Safety about 100 miles north of the Mexican border.

There's been several stories posted about this massacre and the search for the person who led this massacre of women and children in Honduras. Here's the update in today's Houston Chronicle online.
Hoppy
Only doing a job an American wouldn't do.
from the artical; "The gunmen claimed in a message left on the bus' windshield that they were part of a previously unknown revolutionary group opposed to the death penalty. Executions were stopped in the 1950s."
They are protesting a death penalty that doesn't exist by executing people? Am I the only one who thinks that that, is insane? If anything, doing that seems like they are trying to have the death penalty reinstated. I know I would like to kill them.
Nothing to see here folks. This is just another illegal immigrant who is in the US to do a job that no America would do. < / sarcasm >
I'm sure he's here legally right? Right?
Can ya'll spell LETHAL INJECTION.
No, but I can spell HANG.
Guess he was just looking to start a new life in the land of opportunity.
You might want to ping your list to this one!
For some reason, I think this is a duplicate...let me look around..
I wondered why you hadn't posted to it. I thought maybe you were at work. I just pinged you to another thread too. I didn't want you to miss it. I want you to enjoy the same amount of stress that I do. LOL :)
