HONDURAS: Bombings multiply as elections draw close
Concern about acts of terrorism in Honduras has reached the US State
Department, according to the de facto Honduran government. Since the ouster of
President Manuel Zelaya on 28 June last, there have been at least 22 incidents
that could fit that description, though some could have been the work of common
criminals rather than politically motivated radicals. Top Honduran military
officers maintain that the attacks come from the extreme left; Zelaya supporters
claim that the incidents are montages devised by the de facto government led by
Roberto Micheletti to justify repression and attract sympathy from
abroad.
