أَعْلَنَ رَئِيسُ السَّلْفَادُورِ نَجِيبُ بُوكِيلِي، يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ، بَدْءَ عَمَلِيَّةٍ عَسْكَرِيَّةٍ فِي هَايْتِي. وَقَالَ إِنَّ الْعَمَلِيَّةَ تَهْدِفُ إِلَى إِنْقَاذِ أَرْبَعَةِ رِجَالٍ سَلْفَادُورِيِّينَ.

الرِّجَالُ فَنِّيُّو طَيَرَانٍ، وَهُمْ جُزْءٌ مِنْ قُوَّةٍ دَوْلِيَّةٍ تُسَاعِدُ شُرْطَةَ هَايْتِي. وَهُمْ مَفْقُودُونَ مُنْذُ يَوْمِ الْأَحَدِ، بَعْدَ هُجُومٍ عَلَى سَيَّارَتِهِمُ الْمُدَرَّعَةِ.

وَقَالَ بُوكِيلِي إِنَّ عِصَابَاتٍ فِي هَايْتِي خَطَفَتِ الرِّجَالَ، وَطَلَبَ أَنْ يَعُودُوا سَالِمِينَ. وَلَمْ يُعْلِنْ تَفَاصِيلَ عَنِ الْعَمَلِيَّةِ. وَلَمْ تَتَأَكَّدِ السُّلُطَاتُ مِنْ أَنَّ الرِّجَالَ مَا زَالُوا عَلَى قَيْدِ الْحَيَاةِ.
