Israeli Firms Sell Toxins to Honduras Putschists
New York -
Honduran Foreign Minister Patricia Rodas
denounced that two Israeli companies
supplied putschists with the toxic gases
thrown inside the Brazilian embassy in
Tegucigalpa, where President Manuel Zelaya
is staying.
"We have received information that the
chemicals and arms have been supplied by
Alfacom and Intercom companies, owned by
Israeli Yehuda Leitner," Rodas said in press
conference in thit city.
After putschists soldiers threw gases inside
the embassy, nearly 80 people have had
headaches, vomiting, diarrhoeas, and nose
bleeding over the last hours.
Dr. Mauricio Castellano stated that air
samples taken in the embassy's surroundings
had high concentrations of hydrogen cyanide,
which obstructs breathing when it gets in
contact with iron levels in the blood.
Rodas, who is attending the 64th General
Assembly of the United Nations, called for
the international community to send a
medical mission to her country to examine
those poisoned.
Over 100 people are inside the diplomatic
mission to accompany the constitutional
president of Honduras, who unexpectedly
arrived in the country on Monday, nearly
three months after the coup.
A numerous military contingent is deployed
around the embassy, after thousands of
people who were on the place to support
Zelaya were moved away by the use of force. |
