Managua - Some 33 Belgian
citizens fell ill in Nicaragua after eating
poisoned food, the Nicaraguan Health
Ministry said on Sunday.
The 33 Belgians, who were part of a literacy
campaign group in Nicaragua, fell ill on
Saturday night after having dinner at a
restaurant in Tipitapa, 26 km north of
capital Managua, said Edmundo Sanchez, an
official from the ministry.
Among the group of 100 Belgian citizens,
only 33 people fell ill and they have been
sent to nearby hospitals, Sanchez said.
The victims had symptoms of stomach and
