Bush denies involvement in covert rebel weapons flights
MIAMI reports two sources from a secret program say State Department chartered planes and crews ferried humanitarian aid to Nicaragua and refilled with weapons for the Contras. Flights operated via Mopango base in El Salvador and stops in Costa Rica, Honduras, and other rebel airstrips, with costs borne by the United States as a congressional ban was in effect. The crew member said he was told to look away from suspicious cargo.
