Helicopters hover over Mexico's protest-torn Oaxaca, sparking rumors troops may move in
Protesters fortified street barricades and readied gasoline bombs Sunday as navy helicopters buzzed over this southern Mexican city, sparking rampant rumors that federal forces were planning to retake the area.
Several newspapers in Mexico's capital gave front-page coverage to photos of two navy helicopters and at least one military plane that flew low over central Oaxaca late Saturday.
A headline in the Mexico City daily Milenio proclaimed: "Preparations for war in Oaxaca."
Mexico City's El Universal newspaper reported that helicopters, planes and 15 troop trucks had assembled in Huatulco, a Pacific tourist getaway and military hub a short flight — but a long drive — from Oaxaca city.
