MANAGUA, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Nicaragua wants more U.S. support in fighting drug gangs who smuggle South American cocaine north through Central America, President Daniel Ortega told U.S. officials on Monday.
Ortega, a former Marxist revolutionary and U.S. Cold War foe who was reelected president in late 2006, met a U.S. delegation headed by Christy McCampbell, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Counternarcotics, and the DEA's chief of operations, Michael Braun. http://www.reuters.com/article/latestCrisis/idUSN04628884
