There they took part in a Mass of thanksgiving for the safe return of Duarte's oldest daughter, Ines Guadalupe Duarte Duran, 35, who was released 44 days after antigovernment guerrillas kidnaped her and a friend, Ana Cecilia Villeda, 23.

"If those who oversaw this terrible deed sought to torment a father who is President of the republic, they have succeeded," he told an Independence Day gathering in San Salvador.
