SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) - Salvadoran President Tony Saca said Tuesday he would be willing to send more humanitarian troops to Iraq despite the ongoing threat of terror attacks against U.S. allies there.
El Salvador is the only Latin American country with troops in Iraq following the withdrawal of Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican soldiers who had served under the Ultra-Plus Brigade formerly led by Spain.
Spain withdrew troops after terrorist attacks on March 11, 2004, in Madrid. The attacks killed 191 people on four commuter trains, prompting voters to elect a new prime minister who opposed the war in Iraq.
