Information on a government organization
under the name cited above could not be found among the sources
currently available to the IRBDC. For the given timeframe, the only
reference to a government organization whose name closely resembles
the given one is the Servicio de Investigaciones Criminales (SIC,
Criminal Investigations' Service), reported in an Amnesty
International document on El Salvador (El Salvador: Case Studies
July 1976-December 1977; London, 1978). The report mentions the
group in three cases of arrests resulting in unacknowledged
detention and possible disappearance. According to the report, the
SIC was a section of the National Police, formed by plainclothes
detectives in possession of automatic guns.
Other corroborating information could not
be found among the sources currently available to the IRBDC.
