El Salvador's Police Kill and Lie Again

<p>The official story of El Salvador's police department fell apart again in the face of testimony from direct witnesses. The police say they killed four <em>pandilleros</em> (gang members) in a shootout in a house in Villas de Zaragoza. Two witnesses say that when they left the house, the four were alive and had surrendered. One of the dead is a worker who was sleeping when three <em>pandilleros</em>, fleeing from the police, entered his house from the roof. Even one of the police agents on the scene refuted details of the official version offered by the Deputy Police Chief.</p>
