GUNMEN KILL OFFICIAL IN ANTI-DRUG AGENCY

GEORGETOWN, GUYANA -- Gunmen killed the deputy head of Guyana's anti- drug
agency Saturday, the latest murder of a law-enforcement official along the
South American nation's coast.

Vibert Inniss, deputy chief of Guyana's Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit, was
shot several times when he stopped his car to buy newspapers from a vendor
in Buxton, 12 miles east of the capital Georgetown, police said.

Gunmen recently hurled concussion grenades into the headquarters of the
anti-drug unit, which works with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. Eight
police officers and several businessmen have been killed in recent attacks.
