On the Honduran coast, gunmen opened fire in two separate attacks yesterday that killed 16 people, including six police officers. National Police spokesman Edgardo Barahona said the first incident took place at a ranch in the municipality of Trujillo in northern Honduras, where at least ten workers were shot and killed. The resource-rich region has been the site of a decades-long agrarian conflict. In the second attack, assailants opened fire on police in the municipality of Omoa in the Cortes department near the Guatemalan border, killing six officers, including a senior officer.
