Nicaragua: 5 Sandinista Gov't Supporters Shot Dead 
---------------------------------------------------


 
In Nicaragua, five people have been killed and two dozen wounded in the
province of Matagalpa after gunmen opened fire on buses carrying
supporters of the Sandinista government. The passengers were returning
from Saturday's gathering in the capital Managua to celebrate 35 years
since the Sandinistas ousted the Somoza dictatorship. An anti-Sandinista
group claimed responsibility on social media.
