"A helicopter carrying two foreign employees of the Central Intelligence Agency was shot down last month by Nicaraguan forces that were attacking rebel camps in Honduras, U.S. intelligence sources disclosed yesterday. The sources said that one of the CIA employees, the helicopter's pilot, was badly injured and later was airlifted out of Honduras for medical treatment in the United States. The sources said he might lose a leg as a result of his wounds. The other employee, the co-pilot, and a Honduran air force officer accompanying the "intelligence mission" were unhurt, the sources said. They did not identify the CIA employees, but other officials said they were not Americans and might have been working for the CIA on contract. State Department spokesman Charles Redman confirmed yesterday that a helicopter belonging to Honduras had been shot down, but said no Americans were aboard. He also told reporters during the department's daily briefing that there were no casualties. CIA spokeswoman Kathy Pherson said the agency would not comment on intelligence matters... Intelligence sources said the administration apparently decided not to publicize the incident to avoid calling attention to the continuing CIA connection to the contras and to avoid giving the Sandinistas another opportunity to denounce agency involvement with the rebels."
