Salvadorians Killed for a Possibly Political Motive

In a February 21st New York Times article reports of the deaths of 4 Salvadorians on February 20th are still lacking a motive. The four men were on their way to a Parliament meeting, three of the men belonging the the National Republican Alliance and the other one their driver. It is reported that these men were shot multiple times and then their car was set on fire. Proceeding this, they were burned again. This brutal attack has not been associated to any group, however it is suspected that it might be related to some knowledge of on the men's father's actions in the 1980s, when he was suspected of ordering the death of the Archbishop, Oscar Arnulfo Romero. Some members of the National Republican Alliance have spoken out, saying that are refusing to let this possible "threat" effect their work. Mr. Saca said, "if the message is to scare Salvadorans who love liberty, then that person is wrong.'' I am unsure what to really think of this article, just because I am not too familiar with Salvadorian politics. However, if it is actually supposed to be a message to stop encouraging liberty, then I am glad that people are refusing to let it change the way that they live. I feel that it is a tragedy that these lives had to be taken, especially if it was in retribution for what one of their father's might have done. If that is the case, especially since the son was trying to live a better, cleaner life than his father, it would be a real shame.
