Honduran Foreign Minister Edgardo Paz Barnica said Honduras seized 14 tons of U.S. supplies destined for Nicaraguan guerrillas and has asked the United States to take it back. Paz Barnica said that the boots, used clothing and other materials, the first in a $27-million package of non-lethal aid approved by Congress, “were confiscated and are in a military facility” in Honduras.
