Police report that one was killed and at least 17 others were wounded after a grenade blast at a video-game parlor in downtown San Salvador.
“Apparently, it has to do with a problem between the (Mara) 18 and the MS (Mara Salvatrucha) gangs,”a spokesman said.
Gangs are blamed for many rapes, robberies and for protection rackets that extort “taxes” from bus companies and small businesses.
Police estimate that some 10,000 gang members operate in El Salvador, most either Mara 18 or Mara Salvatrucha.
