Prelate says journalist deaths exploited for political aims
In a Sunday homily at San Salvador Cathedral, Monsignor Gregorio Rosa Chavez said the killings of Los Angeles Times writer Dial Torgerson and freelancer Richard Cross on the Honduran Nicaraguan border are being used for political ends by Honduras and Nicaragua. He urged values over vengeance amid El Salvador's 44 month civil war and noted 246 violent deaths reported last week, while authorities blamed a nationwide blackout on unspecified causes.
