The death has occured of an indymedia NYC photojournalist and activist in Oaxaca Mexico.
He was shot by forces loyal to the Governor of Oaxaca as he was videoing in the zone of the
popular uprising led by the APPO- The Popular Assembly of the Oaxacan People.
We have all seen the photos of the assassin, the downed photographer and the scenes
in NYC of Erin Siegel Indymedia photographer/Reuter photographer being arrested and her
camera confiscated. The Protest at the Mexican Consulate was a solidarity and celebration
of Brad Will's Life. Others have died this week in Oaxaca, members of the APPO and
the medium for Broadcast of the APPO, the Radio Universidad was attacked and put off Air.
In all this the activist and writer has died and brought the truth of the lawlessness of the federales

Vertex Aerospace LLC, formerly Raytheon Aerospace LLC, was acquired by Veritas Capital, a private equity investment firm, in 2001. The company changed its name from Raytheon Aerospace LLC in June 2003, but Raytheon Company (its former parent) retains about a quarter of the company.

Vertex Aerospace LLC has its headquarters in Madison, Miss. The company is considered one of the leaders in aviation and aerospace technical services, and its 6,300 employees operate in 42 states and 32 countries. About 95 percent of its sales are for the U.S. government, and its annual 2001 sales totaled about $500 million.
