El Salvador Aftershocks Continue
Aftershocks of a 6.1earthquake
continue shaking El Salvador,
with no human damages, the
National Service of Territorial
Studies (SNET) reported on
Saturday.
According to a bulletin
published by the institution,
the earthquake struck at 15:02
local time (21:02 GMT), and also
in Honduras and Nicaragua.
The epicenter, a 124-mile deep,
was located in the Fonseca Gulf,
Pacific coast, where the three
Central American countries
converge.
Since early January, the SNET
decreed the state of alert for
those islands of the Fonseca
Gulf faced with the persistence
of an earth tremor.
A government release highlighted
that those telluric processes
started around the Salvadorian
island of Meanguera on October
22, 2006 and they still
continue.
