SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador, July 29 (UPI) -- At least six public bus drivers in El Salvador were killed recently by gangs attempting to pressure the government to give into demands for a truce by spreading fear.
Two imprisoned leaders of the Barrio 18 gang in El Salvador, identified as Carlos Eduardo Burgos Nuila and Jose Carlos Hernandez Mauricio, called for a three-day strike of public transportation over the weekend to pressure the government to negotiate with gangs for a truce.
