Honduran Prosecutor safe after assailants fire gunshots at vehicle |
2009-11-09 |
Luis RubÃ, Honduran General Prosecutor, was attacked by gunshots fired against his government vehicles, which were on the principal northern highway of the country, according to police reports. Claims that the attack is a result of the political crisis have not been negated. Rubà is one of the main government officials that supported the coup which ousted President Manuel Zelaya. Police spokesman OrlÃn Cerrato said that the attack occurred in the Los Palillos area in Comayagua, around 90 kilometers north of the capital, and claimed no victims, according to an Italian news agency. Cerrato said that the delinquents, as of yet unidentified, shot various times against one of the three vehicles with bodyguards that accompanied RubÃ, during a moment of intense rain in the area. RubÃ, according to the National Resistance Front against the Coup, is a key supporter of the removal from office of constitutional President Manuel Zelaya, who was ousted on June 28. Zelaya remains in refuge at the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, where he has been since September 21, when he returned to Honduras after having been removed by militants. The de facto regimen, led by Roberto Micheletti, is opposed to the reinstatement of Manuel Zelaya, and believes that he should face trial for the supposed violation of the national Constitution after trying to reform said document in order to allow for a presidential reelection. Since the ousting of Zelaya, several attacks have taken place with explosives against shopping centers and media outlets, identified by the Resistance Front as supporters of the de facto government. |

#3 Can't hit Zelaya without starting a war with Brazil. Not a good idea. Just keep stalling until after the November 29th elections, and everything else is moot. After that, Zelaya should be kneecapped and used as a penalty kick in all national and international soccer matches. |
