薩爾瓦多週日無謀殺竟成頭條
No one was murdered in El Salvador on Saturday, officials said, in what was the first homicide-free day in nearly three years, Reuters reported.
據路透社報道，官員表示，薩爾瓦多週日無人遭謀殺，這是近三年來首個無謀殺案的一天。
"After years when the number of murders reached alarming levels of up to 18 per day, we saw not one homicide in the country," President Mauricio Funes said.
毛裏西奧·富內斯總統說：“數年間當謀殺案數量一度高達令人擔憂的每日18起後，我們看到國內無謀殺案發生的一天。”
The murder-free day was the first recorded since Funes took office in June 2009.
這個無謀殺案的一天也是富內斯2009年6月上任後首個記錄在案的。
According to United Nations data, El Salvador has recently tallied a homicide rate of 66 per 100,000 people, one of the highest in the world.
據聯合國的數據顯示，薩爾瓦多最近的謀殺率攀升至10萬分之66，是世界上最高的謀殺率之一。
Much of that violence is blamed on Mexican drug cartels that use the country as a transit point.
大多數謀殺都是墨西哥販毒集團製造的，他們把該國當成中轉站。
