Romero in 1980.
Major D'Aubuisson was in Britain for a conference organised by the Interparliamentary Union, an organisation linking Parliamentarians around the world. He is a founder member of El Salvador's ruling party, the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA), the group linked to thousands of murders including that of Archbishop Romero, an outspoken champion of the poor.
• THE Salvadoran government this week agreed to accept the mediation of the Catholic Church in talks with left-wing rebels. Auxiliary Bishop Gregorio Rosa Chavez said in San Salvador that the Church had been called in as a "witness to the dialogue".
