| Honduras issues terror alert |
| 2004-08-23 |
| 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. |

| #5 As I said after the Madrid atrocities and the subsequent Spanish (and Honduran) surrender: Paz en nuestro tiempo, la paz de los muertos. (Peace in our time: the peace of the dead.) |

| #1 I was waiting for this day to come: the day that Al-Qaida figures out that they can recruit Hispanic leftists to carry out attacks or ally with narcoguerrillas on an ad hoc basis or just hire poor Hispanic common criminals to pull off an attack. |
