Haitian police say they found vehicle of 4 missing Salvadorans as search continues

Police found the burned vehicle but not the four Salvadoran technicians as Haiti and foreign forces search gang-held territory.

  • 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.
  • Bukele invoked Haitian hero Jean-Jacques Dessalines in a late Tuesday statement, claiming those who betrayed the liberator still exist in Haiti and vowing to rid the country of 'traitors,' escalating tensions with Haitian Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé over command authority.
  • Authorities reported no resistance during the recovery operation in the gang-controlled Croix-des-Bouquets community, revealing an unpredictable security environment as joint forces navigate hostile territory.
  • 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.
