    Finding that alien's "own allegations make clear that his fear is grounded in nothing more than the generally violent conditions extant in El Salvador" and rejecting the notion that assertions of "general violence alone can satisfy the requirement of an individualized threat of persecution"

  4. Carcamo-Flores v. I.N.S.

    805 F.2d 60 (2d Cir. 1986)   Cited 23 times
