Cops Killed
Friday, October 19, 2007: Early this morning at around 2, three policemen were killed near the city of La Plata. All 3 were protecting a communications plant which is part of the Ministry of Security of the Provincia of Buenos Aires. Two of the policemen were first knifed several times, then shot in the head. They were 26 and 27 years old. The third policeman tried to get away and was actually able to run for about 20 meters before he was shot 4 times in the back. He was 45 years old. This terrible event happened just 9 days before the national presidential elections. Some people in the country are already saying that the killing of the policemen is as harmful for Argentina as September 11, 2001 and the Twin Towers was in the United States.
