...landowners, naming opponents inside and outside the new government as "subversives." A disturbing trend developed: some of those he mentioned were murdered shortly afterward. Calling D'Aubuisson "a pathological killer," former U.S. Ambassador Robert E. White has accused him of masterminding the March 1980 assassination of Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero. White could never prove his charge, but allegations continue to haunt D'Aubuisson and his associates.
