TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — A Honduran lawmaker from the conservative National Party of President-elect Nasry Asfura was injured Thursday when someone threw a homemade explosive device into the country’s Congress.
Lawmakers had been called to convene and Deputy Gladis Aurora López was in a hallway of the legislative building when she was hit in the back with the device. López fell to the floor and her jacket was shredded. Witnesses took her for medical treatment, but her injuries were not considered life threatening.
Tomás Zambrano, president of the National Party’s delegation in Congress, blamed the outgoing ruling Liberty and Refoundation Party, or LIBRE, for the attack. Zambrano said via the social platform X that he considered it an attack against the National Party.
