At week's end two coffins containing the bodies of Cooper and Sawyer were unceremoniously dumped outside...
While no American casualties were reported, Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams said the U.S. embassy in San Salvador was virtually destroyed, and the bunker-like compound might have to be razed. The loss would be a painful one, since the embassy served as a nerve center for the U.S.-backed campaign against the guerrillas...
