TEGUCIGALPA (AFP) Assailants kidnapped the father of Honduras' acting defense minister Tuesday in a case that immediately took on political overtones amid a bitter, unresolved political crisis.
The kidnapping of Alfredo Jalil, a wealthy businessman and father of acting deputy defense minister Gabo Jalil, followed by just days the murder of a nephew of the country's de facto leader, Roberto Micheletti.
No evidence has been presented linking either case to the rising political tensions over deadlocked diplomatic efforts to end the crisis set off by the June 28 ouster of President Manuel Zelaya.

“Unidentified attackers overnight on Sunday in Tegucigalpa also shot and killed army Colonel Concepcion Jimenez, officials said.
Jimenez, who managed a company that supplies uniforms to the Honduran army, died in hospital after he was gunned down outside his home, Cerrato said.”
Typical Obama/Chavez thuggery.
The democrat party supported Honduras communists will escalate their terror as the November election approaches.
I suspect that many Zelaya supporters are going to start turning up dead. Revenge is inevitable.
