Strangers who were driving a motorbike threw a teargas bomb this morning in the facilities of Channel 36, an attack which is credited the so-called "national armed front General Alvarez Martínez, who warns in a statement that "the best Zelayista. Is the dead Zelayista”.

"The best Zelaya is a dead Zelaya"
Those of you who know something of the history of Honduras during the 1980s will remember Batallion 3-16, the death squad founded by General Gustavo Alvarez Martinez. It was responsible for more than 384 "disappearances"; and forensic anthropologists have excavated some of its clandestine cemetaries in abandoned military bases built by the US as part of the Contra war during the Reagan administration.
If you need a refresher, follow the link above. Among other things, it lists former members, several of whom form an official part of the Micheletti administration. I'll simply mention Nelson Willy Mejia (Immigration), Napoleón Nassar Herrera (chief negotiator for Minister of Security) and Billy Ferando Joya Améndola (advisor to Micheletti on security). In the interest of fairness, I'll note that some of these also had lower level posts in the Zelaya government (Nassar was chief of National Police in the northern region; Billy Joya was an advisor to the Security Minister). But the prominence of multiple members of Batallion 3-16 has been viewed with alarm by human rights activists since the coup, and the participation of such hard-liners may have contributed to the rapid move to violent suppression of the resistance by the de facto regime.
So it comes as no surprise that suddenly, today, we learn of a new far right commando group in Honduras which revealed itself through fliers left at the site of its first public act. The group, calling itself the "Commando Central del Frente Armado Nacional General Alvarez Martinez" claimed responsibility for setting off a tear gas grenade in the facilities of TV Channel 36, Cholusat Sur, the only TV channel that supports the return of Manuel Zelaya. After the tear gas cleared, staff at the station found several fliers with a short manifesto.
"Because of the latest patriotic events (the overthrow of Zelaya last June 28) we have decided to form this armed anticommunist front to defend our country."
The flier went on to state that they would defend the country from "anyone who wants to reduce it to the totalitarianism of Zelaya, Chavez, or Castro".
"The best Zelaya is a dead Zelaya," they wrote.
Only the National Police and the military have access to tear gas grenades.
The obvious conclusion: this was an intimidation attempt from the Batallion 3-16 crowd, named after their fearless founder.
