ARTICLE SNIPPET: "GUATEMALA CITY (AP) - Groups of presumed gang members launched two separate attacks against prison officials Saturday, killing four men and wounding a third. The assailants escaped.


"We are in high alert," said Sandra Sayas, director-general of Guatemala's prison system. "I've called all of the prison chiefs to an urgent meeting."


In the first attack, the assailants apparently used assault weapons to open fire on guards as they were leaving work at the end of their shift in the "Pavoncito" prison, 10 kilometers (six miles) southeast of the capital, Guatemala City, Sayas said.


One of the guards died immediately, while another died on arrival at a hospital. The third was in surgery Saturday, Sayas said."

Telegraph ^ | October 29 2005 | Andrew Alderson

The Prince of Wales will try to persuade (President) George W. Bush and Americans of the merits of Islam this week

because he thinks

the United States has been too intolerant of the religion since September 11.
