According to the investigation jointly conducted by the AFL-CIO and the Salvadoran government, the killers were José Dimas Valle Acevedo, 35, and Santiago Gómez González, 32, ex-corporals in El Salvador's national guard. They were apprehended, underwent lie-detector tests, confessed and were formally arrested. Both were at the Sheraton Hotel on the night of Jan. 3, 1981, serving as plain-clothes bodyguards for police officers visiting the hotel. One of those officers was Lieut. Rodolfo Isidro López Sibrian, 26, known as "Posorito," or "Little Match," for his naming...
...Salvador, are of a somewhat different sort. El Espino's shareholders and their families, who number more than 1,000, have just been told that the government is planning to confiscate their best acreage to build four new military barracks and a training ground. José Eduardo González, 47, raised his six children on the plantation, and he is distraught about being forced to move.

...toss a bomb at an army staff car and speed away through the streets of Madrid: three people are killed in the blast, and a fourth, Lieut.

...confirmed it had carried out the attack. The other two incidents were suspected to mark the re-emergence of the October 1 Antifascist Resistance Group (GRAPO), a mysterious organization described by the authorities as ultraleftist, that has surfaced sporadically in recent years. In the gun battle that followed González de Suso's assassination, police wounded and captured Emilio Gomez Gomez, 28, allegedly a member of GRAPO. One of the two assailants in the Barcelona killings reportedly was among five GRAPO militants who staged a spectacular escape from a maximum-security prison in Zamora 17 months...
...allegations raised a number of questions about GRAPO and the real perpetrators of last week's attacks - given the country's complex and conspiratorial politics. For one thing, González de Suso is a political liberal and hence an un likely target for a leftist group. GRAPO, skeptics noted, has materialized at other critical moments in Spain's political life, each time to carry out operations that might easily, in truth, have been the work of right-wing hit squads. At the very least, the Madrid daily Diario 16 headlined, GRAPO was a leftist name with...
