MEXICO: 'Eco-anarchists' graduate from arson to bombs
A string of bombings in Mexico in September
has forced the authorities (and security experts) to reassess what had appeared
to be a relatively minor threat: 'direct action' campaigns by groups that, in
the terms used by one of them, can best be described as 'eco-anarchist'. Over
the past three years the nature of these actions has been changing, from daubing
graffiti, hurling paint bombs and disabling public telephones to molotov
cocktails to major arson — and now to explosive
devices.
