The Salvadoran government and rebels holding President Jose Napoleon Duarte’s kidnaped daughter have reached an agreement to free her, Salvadoran Archbishop Arturo Rivera y Damas said. Last week, church officials reported a deal in the works, but it fell through. Sources said the new agreement involves releasing about 20 political prisoners in exchange for Ines Guadalupe Duarte Duran and her companion and safe passage out of El Salvador for about 100 wounded guerrillas in exchange for release of 23 kidnaped mayors.
