Clash at Managua in shooting of Marine sergeant
An inquiry opened into Saturday night events in Managua Nicaragua where Marine Corps Sergeant W W Pigg was shot and killed after being reprimanded by Guardia Nacional members. Lt Cmdr William Hetfield entered the house of President Somoza’s staff seeking air access and was met by officials including Anastacio Somoza.
