Ortega defers final cease fire decision after summit
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega said he will decide Tuesday whether to suspend the unilateral cease fire with the Contras and asked Costa Rica, Venezuela and Spain to mediate with Washington. He softened the stance, saying he would reinstate the truce if Congress cuts aid to the rebels, while Bush denounced the move and called for adherence to peace accords.
