SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — Shafik Handal, leader of the Salvadoran left and an ex-guerrilla commander who fought U.S.-backed troops during the country's 12-year civil war, died Tuesday of a heart attack, doctors and his political party said. He was 75.

The former guerrilla commander was friends with Bolivia's Morales, along with Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Fidel Castro.
