MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Two supporters of a protest movement in southern Mexico have been arrested for the 2006 fatal shooting of U.S. journalist-activist Bradley Roland Will, federal prosecutors said Friday.

A spokesman for the protesters — thousands of whom seized the city of Oaxaca for almost five months that year — denied the two were involved in the Oct. 27, 2006, shooting death of Will, who was filming a clash between protesters and gunmen when he was shot.
The 36-year-old Will was working for Indymedia.org at the time, and was amid a throng of protesters on the outskirts of Oaxaca as they faced gunshots fired from some distance away by pro-government forces.
Prosecutors have said the shot that killed Will came from close range, and that an unidentified voice on his own video can be heard apparently demanding that he stop filming.
Federal deputy prosecutor Victor Corzo said in a news conference that one of the suspects, Juan Manuel Martinez, was the gunman, and Octavio Perez was an accomplice who helped cover up the crime. Officials are looking for eight other alleged accomplices.
