Ex-contra is killed by a gunman
The Associated Press
MANAGUA, Nicaragua — An unidentified gunman shot and killed former contra military leader Enrique Bermudez on Saturday night as he stepped out of his car in front of a downtown hotel.
Bermudez, a member of the contra directorate that had waged war against the former leftist Sandinista movement, was shot once in the head.
The assailant fled on foot, said Associated Press correspondent Filadelo Aleman, who was at the scene.
Assistant Police Chief Alvaro Guzman confirmed that Bermudez was killed and that investigators had no suspects in the shooting, which occurred about 11:00 p.m. (midnight EST)
The contrast and the United States had backed the president's campaign, and the rebels agreed to a truce on April 19, six days before she looks office.
After he was stationed for years in Miami, Bermudez, 58, returned to Managua shortly after conservative president Dichamoro were elected Feb. 25.
But Bermudez recently had criticized Chamorro's government for allegedly not paying attention to the needs of former contras.

Rally organizer Nicex Lesson-Loux said the group planned to conduct a rally every month until the troops returned.
