Los Jihadistas...

From the AP:

MANAGUA, Nicaragua - All of Central America is on alert for a possible al-Qaida attack against El Salvador for its support of the U.S.-led mission in Iraq (news - web sites), the head of the Nicaraguan army said Friday.
[...]
"There is a direct and particular threat against El Salvador," he said.

Across Central America security has been tightened at airports and embassies in a bid to avert any possible attack.

Honduran Security Minister Oscar Alvarez said Sunday his country declared a national alert after receiving information that al-Qaida was trying to recruit Hondurans to attack embassies of the United States, Britain, Spain and El Salvador.
