Bukele says bodies found in Haiti are not abducted Salvadoran soldiers

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele said bodies delivered to soldiers in Haiti are "not our men." Earlier reports had said the bodies of four Salvadoran soldiers were found. The search continues for the Salvadorans abducted last week.

Why it matters

The abductions test foreign forces helping Haiti fight armed gangs before December elections.
