World IN BRIEF : PANAMA : Cuban Ambassador Searched by GIs
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Cuban ambassador to Panama was stopped and searched by U.S. troops, officials said. The Cuban consul said it was the second time that Lazaro Mora Secada, who was riding in a car with diplomatic plates, had been detained. A U.S. Embassy official confirmed the report but minimized it and said the envoy was released. The Cuban Embassy has given refuge to members of Manuel A. Noriega’s family, who have been refused permission to leave the country.
