STREET VIOLENCE RAGES DURING FUNERAL OF ARCHBISHOP ROMERO


SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador--An armed man hides his face as he runs from


a burning car and another terrorist, left rear, throws a Molotov


cocktail during street violence which erupted on Mar. 30 in San


Salvador, as the funeral Mass was in progress for Archbishop Oscar


Arnulfo Romero in Metropolitan Cathedral.


When the shooting began, Archbishop John Quinn of San Francisco,


the president of Catholic Bishops in the United States and other


officials from England, Ireland, Canada, Belgium and Latin American


countries were at the altar officiating at the rites for Archbishop


Romero. Cardinal Ernesto Corripio Ahumada, of Mexico, was nearing the


end of his eulogy and had just said, "We cannot love by hating. We


cannot defend life by killing," -- then the first explosion occurred.
