[news] Attack on Atenco Followed Established "Dirty War" Tactics

[Mostly Water - "Canadian" and International alternative news feed]

"The May 4 incursion into Atenco, amid the quick and violent encirclement by (Federal Police) Special Forces, who were in turn backed by state police, is best described by what in military jargon is known simply as “population control.” This kind of Operation, based on the “Lacheroy Doctrine” – named after Colonel Charles Lacheroy, who coined it in the Battle of Algiers after the French defeat in Dien Bien Phu – is characteristic of an anti-subversive, psychological war; an irregular form of war...which combines intelligence work, civic action, propaganda and control of the masses within a specific territory."
