US reporter killed in the Oaxaca insurrection
A reporter for Indymedia in New York was shot twice and killed yesterday while behind a rebel barricade in Oaxaca, Mexico. Bradley Roland Will, age 36, was shot in the upper torso by paramilitaries in the service of Governor Ulises Ruiz Ortiz. Bradley Will died on the street while still clutching his video camera. A photographer, Oswaldo Ramirez, for Milenio newspaper was wounded in the
attack.
Bradley Will had been in Oaxaca since early October covering the widening rebellion against the state government of the despot Ulises Ruiz Ortiz. The Insurrection led primarily by public school teachers in the organization Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca (APPO) has resulted in many confrontations with scores killed and wounded.
Bradley Will's last published article was on October 17, titled “Death in Oaxaca”. The article was on the assassination of Alejandro García Hernández on the barricades set up by APPO. There are indications that pro-government paramilitaries are targeting journalists.
