Honduras'
Acting Deputy Defense Minister's Father
Kidnapped
TEGUCIGALPA - Alfredo Jalil, 81, father of
Honduras' acting Deputy Defense Minister
Gabo Jalil, was kidnapped Tuesday in
Tegucigalpa near the government house,
police reported.
Alfredo was forced out of his car by at
least two men, some 300meters from the
government house, police spokesman Orlin
Cerrato said.
According to the local radio station Radio
Globo, Alfredo's wife Gloria Mejia did not
rule out the possibility that this
kidnapping was related to the political
crisis in the country. She publicly blamed
paramilitaries of Venezuela, Nicaragua or El
Salvador that might be involved.
Alfredo Jalil was deputy of the Honduran
Congress in 1982. His son, Gabo Jalil, was
appointed deputy defense minister by de
facto President Roberto Micheletti, whose
nephew was found dead on Monday.
On Sunday, a colonel of the Armed Forces,
Concepcion Jimenez, was killed in front of
his house in Tegucigalpa.
