Death squads in El Salvador
Death squads in El Salvador () were right-wing paramilitary groups acting in opposition to Marxist-Leninist guerrilla forces, most notably of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front, and their allies among the civilian population before, during, and after the Salvadoran Civil War. The paramilitaries committed the vast majority of murders and massacres during the civil war and were heavily aligned with the United States-backed government.
