Some idiot U.S. Army colonel on the ground in Panama City heard rumors that weapons were stashed in the Nicaraguan Embassy there. He ordered his soldiers to break into the embassy to search for the weapons. That was a flagrant violation of International Law, an invasion of a sovereign nation. I don't know what happened to that colonel, but he should've lost his commission, been busted back to E-1 and sentenced to a long tour on the Leavenworth Rock Hockey team. In retaliation, Ortega declared several of the U.S. Embassy in Managua Personae Non Grata. I saw several of my colleagues from Embassy Managua on TV being escorted on to a bus going to the airport.
Quite interesting. Yikes!
