COLOMBIA: GENERALS CHARGED
Colombia's attorney general accused four army generals and a colonel of
allowing the 1997 massacre of 18 villagers in the town of Puerto Alvira by a
rightist paramilitary group. It was the second announcement this week
implicating senior officers in a massacre. The army angrily denounced the
investigations, saying they were sapping military morale. (AP)
