El Salvador's national fire department says armed men have stolen computers and burned archives of an agency investigating complaints that nearly 1,000 children went missing from the country's 1980-1992 civil war.

Sgt. Armando Pineda says the men entered the offices of the Probusqueda Association for Missing Children and set fire to archives.

Director Ester Alvarenga says the incident early Thursday morning is "sabotage" and "an attack on our work."

She says she has not been allowed to enter and doesn't know what's missing.
