Inside Story Americas - Feature - Honduras probe 'quashed' by US authorities?

  • 11 years ago
This week, whistleblower and former US state department investigator, Aurelia Fedenisn, made some significant allegations about the culture of cover ups in the department, when she turned over documents to a Republican senator. Among the revelations from the leak of state department memos is that an investigation into the killing of four people in Honduras, including a young boy and two women, was quashed. They were shot from state department helicopters while travelling on a boat carrying 16 people near the Honduran village of Ahuas last May. For Inside Story Americas, Al Jazeera's Kaelyn Forde travelled to Ahuas and spoke with survivors of the May 1, 2012 shooting. Clara Wood, the mother of one of the victims, was in the boat that night.
