''On Sunday, July 8, a representative for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) said two of its agents shot and killed a pilot of a suspected drug plane on July 3 in Honduras. According to The New York Times, several helicopters carrying both Honduran forces and members of a “commando-style squad of the D.E.A.” arrived at the scene of the plane crash in Catacamas in eastern Honduras:''
''The security forces found two pilots. One, who was injured in the crash, was arrested. The other appeared at the doorway of the plane and “ignored orders to surrender and was shot after making a threatening gesture,” said Dawn N. Dearden, a D.E.A. spokeswoman. . . . “The pilot who resisted arrest died of his injuries,” she said. “Two D.E.A. agents were involved in the shooting.” . . . Honduran authorities had briefly described a version of the events to reporters last week, saying that one of the two pilots had died. But they did not disclose that the pilot had been shot by American agents.''
