Kidnapped El Salvador Ambassador Freed in Guatemala
El Salvador's ambassador to Guatemala Eduardo Casanova Sandoval, 58, was freed after a 48 hour captivity by an underground leftist group. He was hooded, questioned, and shot in the right foot during the abduction, then left in a canyon and later helped home by a passerby. He said captors treated his wound and provided antibiotics and that he ate nothing during the two days. Diplomatic figures praised his safe return while the Guerrilla Army of the People had earlier demanded a public reading of a five page statement at the Inter American Development Bank.
