Honduras suspends constitutional guarantees amid election unrest
MEXICO CITY, Dec 1 (Reuters) - The Honduran government gave the army and police more powers to contain unrest by suspending constitutional guarantees, a senior government official said on Friday, in a presidential election crisis that has triggered looting and protests.
Ebal Diaz, a high official for the council of ministers, spoke on a Honduran news program shortly after the Central American country's electoral tribune said it would aim to resume a delayed and controversial vote count on Saturday.
