The army responded by killing 30,000 people, including the leader of the rebellion, Farabundo Martí, in a bloody act that was later referred to as La Matanza (The Massacre) (Lonely Planet).
Agustín Farabundo Martí Rodríguez, for whom the FMLN or Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front was named, was born in Teotepeque on May 5, 1893.
