Resumen:
This cable discusses the problems of the investigation into the May 14th Cayara massacre, including conflicting eyewitness testimony. Based on information from an embassy source and other reliable information, the document draws three main conclusions: some Cayara residents probably participated in ambushing the Army patrol; the Army did murder the residents of Cayara; and finally, the Army almost certainly tried to cover up their involvement.
