December 16, 1982

The daughter of Honduran President Roberto Suazo Cordova was kidnapped here by unidentified gunmen, who gave the Guatemala government until Thursday night to respond to their demand to publish a political manifesto, Interior Minister Ricardo Mendez Ruiz said.

Publication of leftist guerrilla documents is prohibited under Guatemala's state of emergency, imposed by President Efrain Rios Montt to counter leftist insurgents.
