Honduran authorities said they had arrested four people in a restaurant bombing that wounded five U.S. servicemen, and they said the attack was part of a destabilization campaign by foreign “leftist organizations.” Several other suspects were being sought in the Aug. 8 pipe bomb explosion in the town of Comayagua, near the Palmerola air base where 1,200 U.S. soldiers are stationed, the armed forces press office said in a statement. The bomb was placed in a restaurant popular with U.S. servicemen in Comayagua, 55 miles north of Tegucigalpa and seven miles north of the base. The statement did not give the nationalities of those arrested or further identify the leftist organization.
