For Justice BombSan Jose, Apr 09, 2001 (EFE via COMTEX) -- The Costa Rican relatives
of victims of the 1984 terrorist attack on former Nicaraguan guerrilla leader
Eden Pastora on Monday appeared before the Supreme Court to complain
about the lack of progress in the case.Roberto Cruz, a journalist and one of the 15 people injured in the bombing -
in which three people were also killed - said that due to pressure from the
United States, the crime has gone unpunished.May 30 will mark the 17th anniversary of the terrorist attack, one of the worst
ever in Costa Rican history.In May 2000, Costa Rican Attorney General Carlos Arias announced he would
reopen the investigation into the "La Penca" terrorist attack. Arias said he was
preparing charges against at least 28 people.However, Cruz said on Monday that the "judicial branch's lack of action is causing
a negation of justice, equivalent to a cover-up, caused by U.S. pressure."Cruz has called for a judge to investigate former U.S. President Ronald Reagan
and then-Vice President George Bush, as well as former Costa Rican President
Luis Alberto Monge and Vice President Armando Arauz, as the ultimately
responsible parties.Also implicated are U.S. citizen John Hull, who faces extradition to Costa Rica,
and Cuban-American Felipe Vidal.An individual identified as Per Anker Hansen, who was photographed and filmed
at the time of the bombing, is also wanted by authorities. His true identity has not
been established, but he is blamed for planting the bomb.The bombing took place May 30, 1984, in Nicaraguan territory a few kilometers
from the Costa Rican border, where Pastora was holding a press conference.The attack claimed the lives of Costa Rican cameraman Jorge Quiros and his
assistant Evelio Sequeira, along with a U.S. reporter for the local newspaper
The Tico Times, Linda Frazer.Fifteen other Costa Rican and international reporters were seriously wounded
in the bombing. EFEmds/kb/bg
