Warrants for Honduran ex-officials in US case (AP)

TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras ? A court in Honduras has issued warrants for the arrest of 11 former officials accused of helping U.S. authorities seize a drug trafficker on Honduran territory 23 years ago.

The warrants name the former heads of the army and police force, who retired 20 years ago.

Justice Vicente Garcia said Tuesday the officials are charged with abuse of authority and violating Honduras' constitution, which forbids extraditing Honduran citizens.

Juan Ramon Matta was taken from Honduras by U.S. marshals in 1988, triggering violent protests, the burning of a U.S. Embassy office and the deaths of five people.

Matta is serving life sentences in the U.S. for drug charges and the killing of undercover U.S. agent Enrique Camarena in Mexico.
