Alleged Guatemalan torturer lived quietly in Florida http://tvnewslies.org/tvnl/index.php/news/human-rights/14240-alleged-guatemalan-torturer-lived-quietly-in-florida.html
But Jordán, 54, is no ordinary immigrant.He is a former soldier in a Guatemalan army unit known as Kaibiles, a group of highly trained and highly feared fighters who in the 1980s formed special commando teams to track down and kill Cuban-backed leftist guerrillas operating in the Central American country.
But the Kaibiles also were implicated in massacres of innocent villagers. And this week federal agents swooped down onto Jordán's driveway along the 5000 block of Palm Ridge Boulevard near Military Trail and arrested him on charges related to a December 1982 massacre that left 251 men, women and children dead. The massacre at Dos Erres (two Rs) was one of the worst in Guatemala's 36-year-long civil war.
When questioned by authorities, Jordán ``readily admitted'' participating in the massacre, throwing a live baby into a well and taking other people to the well where they were later executed by other soldiers, according to an arrest affidavit filed in West Palm Beach federal court.

The complaint alleges that Jordan, a naturalized American citizen, was part of the special counterinsurgency Kaibiles unit that carried out the massacre of hundreds of residents of the Dos Erres village located in the northwest Petén region. Jordan allegedly helped kill unarmed villagers with his own hands, including a baby he allegedly threw into the village well. also see...US created monsters: Zetas and Kaibiles death squads http://narcosphere.narconews.com/notebook/brenda-norrell/2008/10/us-created-monsters-zetas-and-kaibiles-death-squads CIA Support of Death Squads in Guatemala http://www.serendipity.li/cia/death_squads1.htm#Guatemala A Guatemalan Colonel And a C.I.A.
