US Cold War foe Ortega back in power in Nicaragua
Former Marxist guerrilla and Cold War veteran Daniel Ortega returned to power in Nicaragua on Wednesday and celebrated another leftist election triumph in Latin America with United States foe Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. Ortega (61) was sworn in almost 17 years after voters, tired of a vicious civil war with US-backed Contra rebels, threw him out of office.
