Early history

The island group of San Hermanos was inhabited by Mesoamerican tribes prior to its discovery. In 1499 four Spanish brothers set out to find new land, but three of them died during the long sea voyage. San Hermanos was discovered by the surviving brother, Garcia Moreno, in 1501. Garcia named the islands after himself and his brothers Fraco, Sal and Tori and dubbed the entire island group San Hermanos meaning Saint Brothers.

• The apparent coup attempt was launched in the island of Moheli in the early hours by about 20 French-speaking soldiers wearing balaclavas.

THE steely reputation of France's best-known mercenary, Bob Denard, may have suffered a terminal blow with a report that he has branched out into running a nudist colony. (..) It was M Philippo, an expert in camouflage, who reportedly organised the infiltration of the resort while it was under control of its former management.

They said they backed out form that type of story (US vs bad USSR), strange...

@Sam - not really, South America and Carribean had their share of coups.

Samy perhaps you don't see good enough!
