ARGENTINA: GUERRILLA SWEEP
After more than a year of resisting presi-
dential efforts to give the army a major role in the
counter-terrorist campaign, army commander
General Anaya is at last preparing to direct a
sweep on one of the guerrilla strongholds. The
turnabout can probably be attributed to the mili-
tary's dissatisfaction with police ineffectiveness
and the conviction among army leaders that
public opinion now is prepared psychologically to
accept the fact that the police alone cannot stamp
out terrorism.
The first target of the army drive is in the
northwest province of Tucuman, where the
People's Revolutionary Army has its stronghold.
The guerrillas have long had the sympathy of
local workers in the depressed sugar industry, and
some of the principal training camps for the in-
surgents are ill the nearby mountains. Govern-
ment forces have attempted to destroy this guer-
rilla bastion before, but poor police and military
coordination, a failure to act promptly on intel-
ligence, and difficult mountain and jungle terrain
have hampered them. 3.3(b)(1)
The People's Revolutionary Army, which
has suffered setbacks in Cordoba and elsewhere as
a result of the government crackdown, will prob-
ably have its activities in Tucuman disrupted by
the nevr campaign. Nevertheless, it can be
expected to react by stepping up terrorism in
Buenos Aires, where the police have been less
effective in dealing with the underground or-
ganizations.
