Dominican Authorities Discuss National Security

Santo Domingo, Sep 6 (Prensa Latina) Dominican President Leonel
Fernandez met with Secretary of the Armed Forces Lt. Gen. Ramon Aquino
and Vice Adm. Sigfrido Pared, head of the National Investigation
Department, Thursday to study national security.

The meeting attracted attention because it follows former guerrilla
Claudio Caamano's dialogue with top military commanders on his
denunciation of a planned military coup.

Last week Caamano asserted that he was approached by a group of
active-duty colonels to join plans to remove President Fernandez from
the National Palace.

Caamano reiterated the information during his conversation with the
military, but refused to name names because "many people could be
affected," he told press.

The ex guerrilla's statements add to a recent release from several
retired generals that military officers in active service were planning
to falsify the results of the elections scheduled for May, to favor the
president.
