Liberal Officer Ousted From El Salvador Junta
In San Salvador a liberal colonel was removed from El Salvador's junta after he accused the militant right wing of infiltrating the armed forces. The purge comes as a U.S. commission probes possible military involvement in the murder of four American women. The junta's remaining members face pressure as civilian leaders threaten to resign. The killings, tied to tensions over civil war, occurred near the San Salvador airport last week and intensified U.S. aid cuts. Sisters Ita Ford Maura Clarke Dorothy Kazel and Jean Donovan are named among the victims.
