Last month, a court in Spain issued a request for the arrest of seventeen former military officers connected to crimes committed during El Salvador's civil war. The soldiers in question are accused of participating in the November 1989 massacre of six Jesuit priests, a woman, and her teenaged daughter at the University of Central America (UCA) in San Salvador.  Five of the priests who were murdered in the operation were Spanish citizens.
