Was a Militia or Viligante Group Involved?

Gunmen kill 3 illegal immigrants in Arizona, reports The Associated Press (via Yahoo News).

Excerpts:

Officials have not determined who the gunmen were but believe the driver, who was probably a smuggler, escaped along with a guide. They are still at large. At least two of the immigrants were Guatemalan, officials believe.

Authorities were trying to determine any link to a Jan. 27 confrontation about 40 miles to the north, possibly between human smugglers, that left one man dead and another wounded. In that incident, four men wearing camouflage uniforms and berets stopped a vehicle carrying illegal immigrants.

The gunmen may have been smugglers. Personally, though, the camouflage uniforms and berets conjure up images of extremists affiliated with The Minuteman Civil Defense Corps and the Minuteman Project.
