Haitian police say they found vehicle of 4 missing Salvadorans as search continues
Police found a burned armored vehicle used by four missing Salvadoran technicians as joint searches with foreign troops continued, officials said.
- Haitian National Police found the charred remains of a vehicle carrying four missing Salvadoran aviation technicians in the Santo neighborhood of Croix-des-Bouquets on Monday, though the men remain unaccounted for.
- The Oct. 18 attack on the technicians prompted Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele to deploy more than 2,000 troops to Haiti to aid the search, though reports indicate the forces operate outside the international gang suppression framework.

- Wilson Joseph, leader of the 400 Mawozo gang, requested a U.N. delegation for dialogue to address civilian deaths, offering a controversial alternative to military-led recovery efforts as fighting intensifies.
