Several peace marchers were injured by bottles and stones hurled at them by rightists in Costa Rica, police said. The incident took place at a hotel in San Jose, the Costa Rican capital, where some of the 300 marchers--from Europe, the United States and Latin America--were staying. The marchers later scrapped their march plans in Costa Rica and left by buses for Nicaragua. Security Minister Benjamin Piza told them he could not guarantee their safety.
