EL SALVADOR: Gang Membership Banned.

AP/        It is now illegal to belong to a street gang in El Salvador. Lawmakers passed a law to make a strong statement after an attack on a bus that killed 17 people.
    The law makes gang membership punishable by four to six years in prison. Gang leaders face up to 10 years. Perhaps 20,000 Salvadorans belong to street gangs that deal drugs and extort businesses.
