Kidnapped Commentator Found Dead

Veteran radio journalist, Israel Zelaya, was kidnapped yesterday in San Pedro Sula. His body was found hours later in a sugar cane plantation near the city of Villanueva.

Police reported that the 62 year old radio reporter had been shot dead, and is the tenth journalist killed in Honduras this year.

Mr. Zelaya was a commentator for Radio International in San Pedro Sula, and had complained to authorities three months ago, that a group of strangers had set fire to his house.

Police say they have no suspects or possible motive at this time.
