Four held after US students raped in Guatemala

The police in Guatemala say they've arrested four people in connection with an attack by armed men at the weekend on a group of students from the United States.

Five American women were raped and the group was also robbed.

The students were on their way to Guatemala City after visiting Mayan ruins in Peten when the bus they were travelling in was forced off the road by the armed gang.
