- Share via
The United States has ordered two Nicaraguan diplomats to leave the country by Friday, calling the move a response to Nicaragua’s claim in March that four U.S. diplomats had engaged in spying in Managua. The Nicaraguans are William Vigil, a political counselor, and Miriam Hooker, first secretary for press relations. Miguel Cordero, political officer at the embassy, said he was summoned to the State Department last week and given a formal request that the two be withdrawn. Such a request is tantamount to expulsion.
