A news report from the New York Times today (May 31), reports that a Spanish judge has issued arrest warrants Monday, May 30, for some of the top leaders of El Salvador's military leaders, accusing them of planning and implementing the murders of the six Jesuit priests at the University of Central America, their housekeeper, and her daughter. The Times reports that in a 77-page document, the judge, Eloy Valasco Nunez of Spain's National Court, said the 20 men named in the warrants never had doubts about "carrying out the most execrable crimes against people merely to impose their strategies and ideas."
Those named in the document included Rafael Humberto Larios, who was the Salvadoran defense minister at the time of the killing; Juan Orlando Zepeda, the vice defense minister; Rene Emilio Ponce, leader of the Army's Joint Chiefs of Staff; and Inocente Orlando Montano, the vice minister of public safety. The full report is in the May 31 edition of the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/31/world/americas/31salvador.html?_r=1&hpw
