Rebels Kidnap 29 Peace Activists and 18 Journalists
An American peace group and the Sandinista government accuse Nicaraguan rebels of abducting 29 American peace activists and 18 journalists on the Costa Rican border. The Sandinistas say the group was taken to Costa Rica after being intercepted on the San Juan River near La Penca. The Reagan administration calls the rebels freedom fighters and intelligence sources cite support from the Central Agency. Costa Rica could not verify the captives’ presence in Nicaragua.
