The United States says it is sending a former ambassador to help advise Honduras on tackling violent crime. Honduras has the highest homicide rate in the world, and crime there recently led the US government to withdraw Peace Corps volunteers from the country. The US Embassy says it is dispatching Oliver P Garza to advise President Porfirio Lobo on developing a national security strategy aimed at protecting citizens, assuring human rights, fighting drugs and attracting more international aid. Garza was formerly ambassador to Nicaragua. He arrived Tuesday in Tegucigalpa.
