In Nicaragua  a woman gravely injured a priest by throwing sulfuric acid on him as he heard her confession in the Cathedral of Managua.  59-year-old Rev. Mario Guevara was in "delicate" condition following the attack, which caused burns on various parts of his body. There were burns on his arms, neck, and face, involving one cheek and one eye; his condition is stable. Police took her into custody.
