Enders stated that there had been a battle between guerrillas and the army but that " no evidence could be found to confirm that government forces systematically massacred civilians . " Enders also repeated the claim that only 300 people had lived in Mozote , and it was impossible for the death toll to have reached that reported in the '' Times '' and '' Post '' stories
