Oct 27 (Reuters) - Around 1,000 soldiers from El Salvador have been sent to Haiti in a string of deployments in recent days after four Salvadoran members of the UN-backed force in Haiti went missing during a gang ambush, a security official in Haiti told Reuters on Tuesday.
It remains unclear who will command the new Salvadoran contingent, and how long they will operate in the country.
