Morazan Battles Strain Salvadoran Troops From Training
U S troops returned from Fort Bragg and Fort Benning failed to give El Salvador an edge in the Morazan clash with guerrillas. About 6,000 government soldiers fought through June, with the ambush of a 335 man column near Perquin and 76 reported dead by guerrillas, though confirmed totals were not disclosed. Col Adolfo Castillo was captured after a helicopter crash on June 17 and remains a captive.
