2. The statements of the suspects and other investigations made it clear that the individual behind the assassination used the pseudonym of Marcelo and is a member of the Central Command of the Popular Liberation Forces (FPL) of El Salvador where his tasks brought him in close contact with Comrade Salvador Cayetano Carpio, Commander Marcial, the main leader of that revolutionary organization.
3. This individual, using the position he had gained within the FPL and the trust placed in him by Comrade Salvador Cayetano Carpio, took advantage of the latter's absence to sow the seeds of dis-
trust against Comrade Melida Anaya M. among some rank-and-file members of the FPL, who were then manipulated to execute the crime.

Public and External Relations of the Ministry of the Interior Managua, April 20, 1983 where 105 dwellings were turned over to their tenants, who have now become the owners. "Before, our neighborhood was like all the others in the city; it was owned by a handful of pirates. Now it's different. The government has built a proper protection against flooding, and improvements are planned. In fact, the meeting where tenants were given title to their dwellings was held in a motel that was owned before by National Guardsmen and other robbers."
It is the meetings to discuss the new housing law, the "Ley de Viviendas" that have led to tenants getting title to their dwellings. The law stipulates that those who have paid rent for twenty years have reimbursed the building costs of the dwelling and can apply for title.
