OAXACA, Mexico — Protest barricades returned to the streets of this southern Mexico city Friday after a teacher was killed and two other people were wounded during an apparent clash between rival unions in another part of the state.

Oaxaca city, capital of the state of the same name, was brought to a standstill for months in 2006 by protests sparked by a teachers strike, until federal security forces finally moved in and cleared out demonstrators.
