At Least 16 People Killed in Two Attacks in Northern Honduras The gruesome double attack in northern Honduras has left at least 16 people dead, including six police officers.
The incident on a remote palm farm in Rigores, where workers were shot indiscriminately by armed suspects, is the latest manifestation of a long standing pattern of violence and impunity in the country's north.
For years, human rights experts have warned that local farmers and workers are being forced off their land by armed actors seeking control of the fertile territory.
