El Salvador, still raw from a civil war that ended three decades ago, united to preserve peace in its upcoming elections after a deadly attack during the campaign.
Sunday, two supporters of the opposition political party, the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), died after a bullet attack against their vehicle.
“Faced with this crime that causes the entire country to mourn without distinction of political colors, the only worthy position is the defense of peace,” the Central American University (UCA) stated in a statement.
A security agent, a driver and a private guard, all employees of the Ministry of Health, were arrested and charged with the crime.
