Four Bodies Found in Haiti Believed to Be Missing Salvadoran Soldiers
Four bodies found in Haiti are thought to be those of Salvadoran soldiers ambushed six days ago. El Salvador had sent hundreds of troops to search for them.
Four bodies have been found in Haiti, the Caribbean country, and are believed to belong to missing Salvadoran soldiers, The New York Times reported on October 24. The men were ambushed six days earlier while serving as part of the Gang Suppression Force, a unit whose name points to its role in tackling gangs.
The search effort
El Salvador, a Central American country, had sent hundreds of its troops to Haiti to look for the missing men. The discovery of the bodies is the result of that search, but the identification is still described only as probable: the report says the dead are thought to be the missing soldiers.
The source does not say how many soldiers were missing in total, where exactly the ambush took place, who carried it out, or what happened to any others. These details may become clearer as more information emerges.
