It was a privilege to be able to visit the place where six Jesuit priests, a domestic employee and her young daughter were murdered after midnight on 16th November, 1989. It is now clear a commando of Salvadoran soldiers entered the campus of the Central American University and carried out the murders on behalf of the Government.
