FMLN Descries More Salvadorians to Iraq
 El Salvador´s FMLN (Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front) condemned the Salvadorian Congress decision on Friday to send more soldiers to Iraq.

This is the only Latin American country that has maintained a military presence in the Arab nation since August 2003, as part of the occupation forces headed by the United States, in a war that is alien to us, the FMLN asserted.

While the government asserts that Salvadoran soldiers, who rotate every six months, are working in humanitarian aid and reconstruction, the Front points out support for the US occupation has caused the death of several Salvadorians, and holds the administration responsible.

The FMLN presented a bill to abolish the decree authorizing the leaving of the seventh contingent of the Cuscatlan Battalion, but it was not passed by the Legislature.
