SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — Six Jesuit priests killed by the army during El Salvador’s civil war two decades ago were decorated with the country’s highest honor Monday.
Mauricio Funes, El Salvador’s first leftist president, called the decorations an act of atonement for an atrocity during the 1980-1992 war between leftist rebels and a U.S.- backed right-wing government. He presented the National Order of Jose Matias Delgado to the families of the priests on the 20th anniversary of the massacre.
