Paraguay: 17 killed in violent land dispute

None

Paraguay's president is sending the army to resolve a deadly land dispute in a remote forest reserve.

 

Gunbattles continue in the forest after police tried to evict squatters from the reserve and the landless peasants fired back. Officials say seven officers and 10 squatters have been killed. At least 27 other police officers have been injured. (AP)
