Sgt. Patrick R. Kwiatkowski

Marine Security Guard Battalion
US Embassy San Salvador, El Salvador

Assassinated - 1985

Sgt Kwiatkowski was killed by an El Salvador Terror Cell called the "Mardoqueo Cruz" urban commando of PRTC.
FMLN defended the attack in a communiqué. In a subsequent trial, three people were tried and convicted. Two other trials were instituted for the same attack.
One of them did not reach the sentencing stage, since the accused was amnestied; in the other, sentence has yet to be passed on the accused.
