	Chronology of the Dialogue, 1994-1998
		During the military and police operations--which include the burning of houses, tear gas and bazooka attacks, and the use of helicopter gunships to attack civilians--a gun battle allegedly breaks out in the community of Unión Progreso, between security forces and the Zapatista bases of support defending their community.
		Following the brutal attack, the military is placed on "maximum alert", and additional troops are brought in from the states of Campeche and Yucatán to reinforce the army presence in the municipalities of Ocosingo and Las Margaritas.
		At the same time, military incursions into indigenous communities in Chiapas continue; the Air Force practices bombing runs with new aircraft; the number of military flights over Zapatista Aguascalientes are doubled or tripled; and heavy artillery is seen entering military bases in the Lacandon jungle for the first time.
