As dawn broke over the interior of Belize on April 30, an elite team of
42 police and soldiers, including members of the country's SWAT team and
Special Forces, converged on a compound on the banks of a jungle river.
Within, all was quiet. The police called out through a bullhorn that
they were there looking for illegal firearms and narcotics, then stormed
in, breaking open doors with sledgehammers, handcuffing four security
guards, and shooting a guard dog dead. The compound's owner, a 67-year-old white American man, emerged bleary-eyed from his bedroom with a 17-year-old Belizean girl.
