Description
A cache of five weapons captured in March 1983, three rifles, a Heckler & Koch G3 battle rifle, an M16 assault rifle, one shotgun, and one submachine gun, and an unidentified brown rifle lie on top of a U.S. flag. Below them sits a sign that reads, "Captured FRS armament with a U.S. flag." The Frente Revolucionario Sandino (FRS), or Sandino Revolutionary Front in English, is an organization founded by Edén Pastora Gómez in 1982, shortly after leaving Nicaragua and the FSLN for exile in Costa Rica in opposition to Nicaragua's Sandinista government. Un botín de cinco armas capturadas en marzo de 1983, tres fusiles, dos de los cuales son un fusil de combate G3 y un fusil de asalto M16, una escopeta, y un subfusil, yacen sobre una bandera estadounidense. Debajo de las armas se observa un letrero que dice: "Armamento capturado al FRS con la bandera de los EE.UU". El Frente Revolucionario Sandino (FRS) fue organizado por Edén Pastora Gómez en 1982, poco después de haber dejado Nicaragua y el FSLN para el exilio en Costa Rica en oposición al gobierno sandinista de Nicaragua.
