Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom denounced that attacks against the passenger transport sector correspond to a organized crime plan to destabilize the government.
About eight workers from that sector have died and one more has been seriously injured after a series of armed aggressions in several points of the capital, whose characteristics turn out to be very similar.

"The attacks were planned in strategic places, with the very latest in cars, attackers did not steal anything to pilots, and due to the way they were killed, we could say that professionals did it," said the statesman.
According to Colom, there is a plot against the government for actions carried out in the last few days to fight violence and investigate public security bodies, allegedly infiltrated by criminal groups.
Former presidential candidate and leader of the Patriotic Party, Otto Perez Molina, stated that this is essentially a showdown between new authorities and organized crime.
For Carlos Quintanilla, from the Secretariat on Administrative Affairs and the Presidential Security, the aim of those crimes against drivers is to motivate a general strike in transportation service and generate ungovernability.
Nearly 14 pilots and assistants have been murdered this year at work, eight of them in the last 48 hours, in apparently coordinated actions.
Colom expects to meet today at the Presidential Palace with general secretaries from different political parties to analyze the lack of public safety.
