PARAGUAY: Authorities unsure about two attacks that kill five police officers
On 12 July two police officers were killed in the Capitán Bado district of Amambay, the district which borders on Brazil and lies adjacent to San Pedro. The police initially attributed the crime to drug traffickers, but interior minister Francisco de Vargas later said that suspicions were pointing towards the guerrillas of the Ejército del Pueblo Paraguayo (EPP). The officers appeared to have been intercepted and forced to leave their vehicle. De Vargas ventured that the EPP, under pressure from the FTC (the combined military-police task force) had been fleeing from San Pedro into Amambay.
