Bomb atrocity greets UN Secretary-General

Guatemalan police stepped up security in the capital on Monday (3/4), the day after a bomb exploded near the presidential palace during a meeting between President Ramiro de Leon and UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali. The bomb went off in front of an office building, killing a man and wounding a woman. No group has claimed responsibility for the blast, which de Leon described as "a regrettable terrorist attack." Boutros-Ghali and his assistant Marrack Goulding arrived in Guatemala City on Sunday to discuss the ongoing peace process, which progressed with the recent signing in Mexico City of an agreement on Indian rights. On Monday, the police and army implemented a joint security operation for the remainder of the UN delegation's visit. Boutros-Ghali's visit to Guatemala is the first by a UN Secretary-General and is seen as a measure of the UN commitment to ending more than 30 years of civil war in the Central American country.
