El Salvador: gangsters bake bread as part of peace programme In a tense climate, 500 "18th street" gangsters met in the city of Ilopango, 7km north of San Salvador, where some of them now work in a bakery as part of a rehabilitation programme. They baked bread and shared it with members of the OAS (Organization of American States), wanting to prove that the truce between gangs which started in March 2012 was working. Images.
