And one clue as to what led to that violent attack comes from information received form police sources. We are told that this morning, Special Branch launched an operation in the village to catch a 25 year old man from Salvador who is wanted for what is being termed "organized terrorism". Franklin Mendoza is wanted in el Salvador for that crime - and was found in Belize, allegedly trying to organize a gang in Bella Vista. He has known associates in that area who reportedly work as seasonal labour for banana farms.

He is expected to be sent back to Salvador - which has embarked on a very tough anti gang policy. It also has the one of the highest murder rates in the world.
