Ford Executive Target of Terrorist Attack in Argentina
On 23 October terrorists attempted to abduct Eduardo J.
Johnes, the director of labor relations at Transax, a Ford
subsidiary in Cordoba, Argentina. The abduction attempt oc-
curred as Johnes was returning to his suburban home. The
attempt was foiled by Johnes' bodyguards who drove off the
terrorists after a violent shootout. Johnes escaped unharmed.
During the past two years, Transax has been the target of
several kidnapping and extortion attempts including the 22
November murder of John Swint, the Tr anager,
by the Peronist Armed Forces (FAP).

Collaborator with Argentine Montoneros Trained by Fedayeen
Following his arrest by Argentine police in late Septem-
bei, Ismael Jacinto Haiek admitted that he had received guerr-
illa warfare training in 1969-70 at a Palestinian camp. Haiek,
an Argentine of Lebanese extraction, was arrested because of
hi collaboration with the Montoneros, a now illegal leftist
Peronist organization that has been involved in terrorism,
including some attacks on foreign targets. (A detailed back-
ground article on the Montoneros appeared in the 25 September
1974 issue.)
Haiek told the police that he received the training from
the Palestine Liberation Organization. However, as the PLO is
a political organization not directly involved in guerrilla
aclivities, the training camp probably was sponsored by one of
the PLO-member fedayeen organizations, perhaps Fatah. Haiek
said a principal reason for the training was to acquire Pales-
tinian guerrilla warfare training materials for the Montoneros.
He took numerous photos of training techniques, weapons and
demolition devices. He did not elaborate on the type of train-
inE he received but did mention that Communist Chinese assisted
in the technical instruction. Haiek had photos of himself with
Fatah chief Yasir Arafat and George Habbash, leader of the
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
At Haiek's home police discovered powerful radio intercept
eqiipment which he used to monitor international telephone
calls. He claimed to have passed recordings of these communica-
ticns to an unidentified contact in the Lebanese Embassy in
Buenos Aires. He also intercepted local police and military
communications on behalf of the Montoneros. In addition, he
ha( equipment for printing Patria Barbara, a Montonero clandes-
tire publication. Haiek named another Montonero of Arab descent
who is now participating in Palestinian activity in the Middle
Eat. Haiek has been working as a journalist, and has contrib-
ut(d to the publications Arab Question and The Voice of Palestine
He also has been in the pay of the Lebanese Embassy's press
attache, assisting with the Arab League's propaganda mechanism.
Haiek did not reveal the extent or type of assistance--if any--
that fedayeen organizations are providing to the Montoneros or
other Argentine extremist groups at present.

Meeting of the Revolutionary Coordinating Junta in Argentina
In late September, /
n
/he Revolutionary Coordinating Junta
(JCR) held a meeting in Tucuman, Argentina. The organizations
represented were the Chilean Movement of the Revolutionary Left
(MIR), the Argentine People's Revolutionary Army (ERP), the
Bolivian National Liberation Army (ELN), the Uruguayan Tupa-
maros, and the Peruvian MIR. The purpose was to divide funds
obtained by the ERP from kidnapping and extortion, and to
discuss the general strategy for armed struggle in the southern
cone of South America. (The organization and activities of the
JCR were described in the issues of 20 February, 9 October and
3 December 1974.)
Also attending the meeting was Jorge Insunza, a Chilean
Communist leader who has been cooperating with the MIR and who,
according to the Chilean press, has been acting as a financial
courier between the MIR and the Argentine ERP. The Chilean
Communist Party officially disapproves of this collaboration
with the extremist MIR, fearing that it will damage the party's
policy of nonviolence and will bring on massive government
persecution. Chilean officials who have recently interrogated
captured MIR members confirmed that Insunza brought about US
$100,000 from Argentina to the MIR, �and that the ERP and Mon-
toneros are assisting the MIR with guerrilla training in Argen-
tina.
