      MADRID (CWNews.com) - Spanish state radio reported on Wednesday that a Spanish Salesian missionary was murdered in the Dominican Republic.

      Father Cipriano Ibanez, 72, was killed on Tuesday by robbers who shot him after he refused to give them his car, according to the report. He was on his way to celebrate Mass in Santo Domingo.

      In Tuesday's story about the murder of Father Hector Fabio Rojas in Ecuador, he was mistakenly identified as a Salesian. The slain priest is actually a member of the Order of Friars Minor, a Franciscan order. We regret the error.
