Leftist guerrillas early Tuesday attacked a residential neighborhood in northern San Salvador where many government and military leaders have their homes.
Guerillas wanted to kill government and military leaders.
Killing civilians in a residential area would work against guerillas ambitions because civilian deaths would cause a reaction. They would also therefore not attack a residential area unless those they attack are eliminated as a result. Guerillas would choose such unconventional tactics of violence.
