Violence Shadows Ecuador's Election Campaign

Otto Sonnenholzner, a presidential candidate in Ecuador, has called for an investigation into a shooting that occurred near him and his family while they were dining out. This incident comes just days after the assassination of another candidate, Fernando Villavicencio. Sonnenholzner and his family were unharmed, but videos show them leaving the premises with bulletproof protection. The Ecuador National Police have detained five people in connection with an unrelated assault. Violence has been escalating in Ecuador, particularly on the Pacific coast, as criminal groups battle for control of narcotics.
