THE HISTORY OF September 10th, I'm ___________________.

And I’m ___________. Today in 1985: Salvadoran guerrillas capture Ines Guadalupe Duarte Durin, the daughter of President Jose Napolean Duarte. The kidnaping will draw criticism from European and Latin American governments, but an October 24th prisoner exchange will win freedom for twenty rebel leaders and wounded insurgents.

The guerrillas will release photographs and tape recordings that indicate a certain sympathy for the rebel cause from Seora Duarte Duran. This will drive a wedge between President Duarte and his backers in the army and oligarchy.
