I'm tuned in to Radio Sucre right now trying to piece together this event, which was clearly a politically motivated killing. Right now Radio Sucre is taking calls and giving testimonials, so I'm listening for further clues. Anyone who wants to tune in can go to:

and click on the streaming links at the lower right corner of the page. There are two of these. One for AM, one for FM.

Also of interest: when I went to Radio Sucre's website I got a Google warning page reporting that the site had hosted malware over the last 90 days. Apparently some party has hacked their website, so be aware of this problem if you intend to go there. The address is: www.radiosucre.ec
