Rebels, Government Sign Military Pact
From Times Wire Reports
Guatemalan rebel and government representatives signed an agreement on reducing the power of the country’s military.

The pact, reached earlier this week, was among a number of accords that the rebels insisted upon before they’ll sign a final peace accord in Oslo next month.
