On this date in 1989 soldiers of the C.I.A. puppet regime in the Central American country of El Salvador attacked the top Jesuit faculty of the Central American University.

[In the 1970s and 1980s, during the Civil War in El Salvador, UCA was known as the home of several internationally recognized Jesuit scholars and intellectuals, including Jon Sobrino, Ignacio Ellacuría, Ignacio Martín-Baró, and Segundo Montes. They were outspoken against the abuses of the Salvadoran military and government, and carried out research to demonstrate the effects of the war and poverty in the country.
....Ellacuría, Martín-Baró and Segundo Montes, along with three other Jesuit professors, their housekeeper, and her daughter, were murdered by the Salvadoran Armed forces on November 16, 1989, in one of the most notorious episodes from the Civil War (see Murder of UCA scholars).]

The daughter's name was Celina Mariset Ramos. She was 15 years old and quite pretty, as the diligent reader can see from the images. At the time I wrote a song about President Bush's misdeed in this case, one of whose titles was "The Ballad of the Cook's Daughter".
