GUATEMALA CITY (AP) - Guatemala's interior minister resigned on Monday in the wake of a scandal over police investigators' alleged involvement in the grisly murder of three Salvadoran politicians last month.
While President Oscar Berger rejected a congressional declaration expressing a lack of confidence in Carlos Vielman, "he can't force anyone to stay," government spokeswoman Krista Kepfer said. Both Berger and Vice President Eduardo Stein lauded Vielman's performance.
Vielman's replacement was to be named by the president later Monday.
