Honduras' acting deputy defense minister's father kidnapped
This and the other shooting death make it clear: the Left is prepping the battle space in Honduras.TEGUCIGALPA, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- Alfredo Jalil, 81, father of Honduras' acting Deputy Defense Minister Gabo Jalil, was kidnapped Tuesday in Tegucigalpa near the government house, police reported. Alfredo was forced out of his car by at least two men, some 300 meters from the government house, police spokesman Orlin Cerrato said. According to the local radio station Radio Globo, Alfredo's wife Gloria Mejia did not rule out the possibility that this kidnapping was related to the political crisis in the country. She publicly blamed paramilitaries of Venezuela, Nicaragua or El Salvador that might be involved. Alfredo Jalil was deputy of the Honduran Congress in 1982. His son, Gabo Jalil, was appointed deputy defense minister by de facto President Roberto Micheletti, whose nephew was found dead on Monday. On Sunday, a colonel of the Armed Forces, Concepcion Jimenez, was killed in front of his house in Tegucigalpa. Posted by: Steve White 2009-10-28 |
