CIA officers brokered two agreements this year on how rival Nicaraguan insurgent groups should divide privately raised military supplies, Nicaraguan Indian rebel leaders said. The leaders, active in Misura, an Indian group fighting the Sandinista government in Managua, told the Associated Press that the aid was divided between Misura and the larger Nicaraguan Democratic Force. A CIA spokeswoman said the agency is “complying with congressional restrictions” that bar it from “supporting, directly or indirectly,” military or paramilitary operations in Nicaragua.
