OAXACA, Mexico — Gunmen ambushed a caravan of rights observers and leftist political activists in a remote, restive area of southern Mexico, killing a Finnish man and a Mexican woman, and dozens from the group remained missing, prosecutors said Wednesday.
The ambush was Tuesday near the village of San Juan Copala, scene of a long-running dispute between a group demanding greater local autonomy and militants with links to the state’s ruling party.
An eyewitness said the 40 or so people in the caravan scattered when gunmen opened fire from a hillside.
Most who fled were still missing, including two journalists from the Mexican magazine Contralinea.
