GUATEMALA CITY (AP) - Authorities are investigating whether imprisoned gang members — and not outside attackers — were responsible for gunning down four policemen being held in the deaths of three Salvadoran politicians, officials said Friday.
Prosecutor Alvaro Matus said guards this week discovered four guns hidden in possessions being removed from gang members' jail cells by family members.
The announcement conflicts with previous declarations by Guatemalan President Oscar Berger — who said organized crime hitmen reached the officers' cell last Sunday after getting past eight locked doors at the prison — and prisoners' family members, who said they saw armed men entering the lockup.
