Honduras issues terror alert
Honduras declared a national terror alert and tightened security at foreign embassies after receiving a tip that the al-Qaeda terrorist network is trying to recruit Hondurans to carry out attacks, the Associated Press reported from the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa. Security Minister Oscar Alvarez said Honduras received information three days ago that al-Qaeda was recruiting Hondurans to bomb the embassies of the U.S., U.K., Spain and El Salvador, AP reported. While some residents may have been approached to carry out the attacks on ideological grounds, others may have been offered money, he said, AP reported.Posted by: Dan Darling 2004-08-23 |
