"Guategate" security scandal shakes Colom government
The discovery of spying devices in the offices
and home of Guatemala's President Alvaro Colom, and the alleged complicity of
his top security officials, signified one of the worst security crises to have
afflicted the country in years. Adding to the resultant climate of fear and
uncertainty, was Colom's decision to summon the military to take charge of the
presidential palace, a move which cast a whole new light on his announcement
days earlier of plans to expand the army.
