GUATEMALANS TRAP, KILL 8 DRUG SUSPECTS

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) -- A crowd of 200 villagers burned to death eight men 
they accused of running guns and drugs in western Guatemala's mostly Indian 
highlands, police reported yesterday.

In what authorities described as a carefully planned attack late Saturday, 
roads were blocked to trap the men, and the crowd pulled them from their 
trucks, doused them with gasoline and set them on fire.
