BOSTON (Reuters) - A former Salvadoran military officer linked to the notorious killing of six Jesuit priests during El Salvador's vicious civil war was arrested on Tuesday, officials said.
Inocente Orlando Montano was taken into custody without incident by authorities, according to a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's office in Massachusetts.

Montano, officials learned, served in the Armed Forces of El Salvador from 1963 to 1994 and retired as a colonel. He later held the post of Public Safety Vice-Minister while the country's military government was waging civil war, the criminal complaint said.
Montano has been linked to a gruesome killing of six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper and her teenage daughter.
The group was killed at their home at a local university on November 16, 1989. The priests had been critics of the human rights abuses committed by the army during the 12-year civil war that ended in 1992.
