Federal forces stand guard in downtown Oaxaca City on the second day of a federal forces operation October 30, 2006. Leftist protesters clashed with riot police in the colonial city of Oaxaca on Monday after Mexico's federal government seized control of the popular tourist spot to try to end months of violence.

A woman walks past broken glass windows of a Burger King store in Oaxaca November 7, 2006. Leftist guerrillas took responsibility for exploding bombs in Mexico's capital on Monday, rattling a country already nervous about unrest in a poor southern state and a deep political rift from an acrimonious election in July. Five small leftist guerrilla groups said they carried out the bombings and demanded the removal of the governor and federal police from troubled Oaxaca state. The words read "Multinational assassin".
