　昨年選出されたばかりの女性首長。メディア担当補佐者とともに、借りた車の中から銃撃された状態で発見されたと。つまり暗殺者はタクシーの偽装をしていた、というところか。

「Ecuador's youngest mayor, Brigitte García, has been shot dead.

The 27-year-old and her press officer were found dead in a car on Sunday in the town of San Vicente, where she had won the mayoral election last year.

No arrests have been made so far and it is not clear what the motive may be.

Ms García is the latest politician to be killed in the Andean country, which last year was rocked by the assassination of presidential candidate Fernando Villavicencio.」

　大統領候補者から何から、ともかくしばしば政治家が暗殺される。…まあその正直、日本こそが、世界がうらやむ現世の理想扱いされる可能性も見えるわなあ、とか思う。

「Police said the shots which killed them had been fired from inside the car they had rented.」
