Three children and their great-great grandmother have perished in a fire that was allegedly caused by arsonists trying to intimidate the children's father. The tragedy occurred in the Katanga area of La Romana, and the children's father, community leader Armando Ortiz, told El Caribe reporters that the firebomb was the work of "anti-social elements" in the neighborhood that were seeking to intimidate him for his stance on crime in the area. Ortiz said that he had denounced the sale of drugs, the high incidence of robberies and other crimes, and this was probably the cause of the attack. Ortiz, his wife and two other children lived on the first floor of the two-story structure. The fire destroyed the wooden second story and resulted in the deaths of the occupants.
