Salvadoran Plot Charged

Julio Rey Prendes, a close aide to Salvadoran President Jose Napoleon Duarte, said the CIA has uncovered a right-wing plot to kill him. Rey Prendes said he was informed of the plot by CIA officials last month. He told reporters that the instigator of the plot was a former security chief to Roberto D’Aubuisson, the leader of the right-wing Arena party. Rey Prendes, however, did not identify the former security chief by name.
