Update: Central America pleads for debt relief, investment

COMALAPA, El Salvador (Reuters) - Leaders of Central American nations

them rebuild. At least 11,000 died last week in the aftermath of Hurricane
Mitch. At an emergency meeting at El Salvador airport, the presidents of El
Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica also urged developed countries

deporting illegal immigrants. See full story
