Former Salvadoran officer accuses military of aiding death squads
Ex intelligence chief Roberto Santivanez says El Salvador’s senior military officials chaired a National Security committee that ordered soldiers to cooperate with death squads led by rightist Ro berto D Aubuisson. He links the killings to pressure on reformist Col. Majano and notes Romero’s 1980 assassination, the violence era, and political reprisals amid US-backed government discord.
