Honduran police have arrested an Indian leader of U.S.-backed rebels opposed to the leftist government of neighboring Nicaragua and may deport him soon, Honduran officials said. Steadman Fagoth Muller, who commands an Indian rebel group known as the Misura, violated the law by “getting involved in politics,” the officials said. Foreign Minister Edgardo Paz Barnica said Nicaraguan rebels should be “booted out” of his country. Honduran officials were angered by Fagoth’s recent boast to reporters that his forces would execute 23 captured Nicaraguan soldiers if their government attempts to rescue them.
