I accomjjanled the soldier, who

Romero said his men had cap-

A few minutes later I heard rifle
shots followed by a heavy exchange
of gunfire. I dropped flat on the
floor and after 45 minutes the fir-

bullets in the head and stomach. I
didn't know exactly how many more
were killed.
His men retreated into town about
