Engineer shot, killed by contras
The Associated Press
MANAGUA. Nicaragua — A U.S. volunteer working as a mechanical engineer in a small village in northern Nicaragua was shot and killed by contras yesterday morning, the Nicaraguan government announced.
It was the first reported death of a U.S. citizen working for the Sandinista government, which is in a war with U.S.-backed rebels.
The government said the dead U.S. citizen was Benjamin Ernest Linder, 27, of Portland, Ore., the son of David and Elizabeth Linder.
A government spokesman said Linden was killed by a group of six contraband who walked into his office at 8 a.m. in the village of La Camalelaona, where he was working on the construction of a small hydroelectric plant. The village, which is in Jinotega province, is 85 miles northeast of Managua.
Linder died while representatives from 88 countries met in Managua at the 77th Conference of the Inter-parliamentary Union to discuss, among other things, possible ways to end the Nicaraguan conflict between the government and the contras.
The government official, who declined to be identified, said Linder had been working as a volunteer in northern Nicaragua for the past two years.
He had come to Nicaragua in 1985 to work for the Nicaraguan Energy Institute.
"A group of six contrasts came in, shot him and fled," the government spokesman said. "La Camaleona is a small village of not more than 100 scattered families."
