SPECIAL INTERVENTION POLICE FORM PICKET LINE OUTSIDE THEIR BARRACKS, 1997-11-19 (photo)

Members of Mexico City's special police intervention force "Zorros" ("Foxes") form a picket line in front of police officers, with their faces covered by sky masks, outside their barracks November 19. The officers, some of whom have been implicated in the murder of six youths after a shoot out last September 8, formed the line when regular police officers arrived to arrest twenty of them on suspicion of involvement in the deaths, covering their faces and blocking access to the barracks. Three high ranking army officers in charge of this and another special intervention force were arrested yesterday pending investigations into their involvement in the deaths. MEXICO KILLINGS
