Today, the 11th of December is the 31st anniversary of the Mozote massacre, where in a village in Morazan county (department)

US-trained soldiers of the US-financed right-wing regime in El Salvador tortured and killed over 800 civilians. At first, the US and El Salvador authorities denied that any massacre had taken place and if anyone had been killed he or she was either a member of the guerrillas or a direct victim of the guerrillas. Yet during the military sweep of the area that included the hamlet of El Mozote, US military advisers were present. Helicopters carrying US advisers and captains or commanders of the very notorious Atlacatl unit flew over the region numerous times during the incident. Some US sources have alleged that it was the fault of the villagers for living inside a guerrilla zone and possibly even supporting the guerrillas. This reflects the very evil and immoral character exhibited by the ruling goons in Washington that still controls them today. The above scene or picture of dead civilians has been repeated over and over and over again in places like Afghanistan (where it is often alleged that children are supporters or informants of Afghan guerrillas and so must be killed), Libya, Pakistan, Somalia and in Iraq. Today, the US and other western nations are supporting the use of car bombs and heavy military equipment against the civilians suspected of harbouring sympathy for the Syrian President. Mozote has certainly been repeated too often by the US !
