THE POU BROTHERS, GRADUATES OF THE SCHOOL OF ASSASSINS

Balaguer is still alive. I suppose that his friend must have died already. During the last government, the two people who killed Orlando MartÍnez were caught. Excuse me, one of them. It was General Pou. There are two Pou´s. Both are generals. The one who killed Orlando MartÍnez was just sentenced for life -- for 30 years.

Both of them were trained in the School of the Americas. Both of them. What is the School of the Americas?
