 NEW YORK (AP) - Salvadoran President Tony Saca said Sunday his country's troops would not leave Iraq ahead of schedule, despite protests over his El Salvador's involvement in the U.S.-led occupation.
"Tell me what logical reason would I have to abandon the countries of the Iraq coalition, leaving them to their luck while the terrorists continue wreaking havoc," Saca said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Two Salvadoran soldiers have been killed since the country began sending troops in August 2003. El Salvador's government has been one of the staunchest U.S. allies and is the only Latin American country with troops still in Iraq.
