General Daniel Lopez Carballo was a retired Honduran General and a member of FGBMFI (Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International). He was a keynote speaker at a FGBMFI dinner event in Fresno, California, in February 2008, alongside Jimmy Hughes.1
Lopez Carballo was identified in a Spanish publication, Publico.es, as the "designer of the military strategy of the coup d'etat" that ousted President Manuel Zelaya in Honduras on June 28, 2009. He, along with Romeo Vásquez Velásquez, placed Roberto Micheletti in office as Zelaya's successor. Lopez Carballo justified the coup by stating that Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez would eventually be running Honduras by proxy if the military had not acted.1
Lopez Carballo had been trained at the School of the Americas (SOA/WHINSEC), attending at least twice, in 1976 and 1984. He was also mentioned as a friend of Jimmy Hughes, who ministers to the military and trains military personnel in Honduras.1
