Fourteen people were killed when a small passenger plane crashed outside the capital of Honduras on Monday. Three Americans were counted among the victims of the crash as well as several prominent Hondurans, including government official Rodolfo Rovelo, trade union leader José Israel Salinas and former finance minister Carlos Chain. Meanwhile, on Friday, two influential campesino leaders were killed in the Aguan Valley region of Honduras. The men headed up a co-operative that cultivates African palm oil for biofuel production.
