DOMINICAN REPUBLIC : Upheaval over coup rumours
Allegations by a former guerrilla, Claudio Caamaño, that a group of serving colonels are plotting a coup against President Leonel Fernández, caused upheaval earlier this month. High-ranking officials were quick to dismiss the rumours. The command-officer of the Dominican armed forces' intelligence unit, general Valentín Jáquez, vehemently denied the existence of any "destabilising plan" as claimed by Caamaño. Nevertheless, the government ordered an investigation into the allegations and summoned Caamaño to give explanations to a military court.
