Usually, an "External Method" is not restricted by Zope's
security.

Unless "manage_delObjects" does not perform an additional
internal check (I think, it does not), your "External Method"
can use it to delete objects.


BTW: Often, it is more faster simply to try something than
to post a question to the mailing list and wait for the answer.
Your question above is such a case ...
