Bukele pays tribute to El Salvador policemen killed in plane crash

El Salvador's President Bukele paid tribute to Police Chief Arriaza and seven other officers who died in early September when the helicopter they were traveling in crashed.

Bukele said that the helicopter went down in La Union Province while on a mission near the El Salvador-Honduras border. He said the incident was not merely an "accident" and called for a thorough investigation into the cause, pledging that those responsible would be held accountable. Bukele added that El Salvador would seek international assistance in the investigation.
