El Salvador's attorney general said Saturday he will ask former junta member Jose Antonio Morales Ehrlich to testify in a probe of the disappearance of $8 million intended for a US-backed land reform plan.

Attorney General Mario Adalberto Rivera said much corruption has been uncovered in the administration of the Salvadoran Agrarian Transformation Institute that Morales headed.
