Argentina
TERRORISTS TARGET US CITIZENS
Terrorist groups in Argentina may be
planning further abductions of US citizens fol-
lowing the killing last week of the US honorary
consul in Cordoba. The incident has caused Pres-
ident Peron 's government acute embarrassment
since it points up the inability of security forces
to retard the high incidence of violence even
under the provisions of a state of siege.
the consul's abduction was the
beginning ot a campaign against US citizens to
force the government to treat captured leftists
more humanely. A press dispatch has also re-
ported that leaflets distributed by the consul's
kidnapers stated ',hat their victim was "the first
on a long list of servants of imperialism in
Argentina" who will have to "render accounts."
3.3(b)(1)
The Plronist government might have been
able to produce one of the four prisoners the
guerrillas had demanded in return for the con-
sul's safety. Two others reportedly were dead,
and the third had undergone such harsh treat-
ment during interrogation,,
3.3(b)(1)
So far the government has failed to explain
to the US ambassador's satisfaction why
bodyguards assigned to protect the consul were
removed a few days before he was kidnaped.
Questions have also been officially raised as to
why the government refused to try to ransom
the consul but subsequently acceded to terrorist
demands in order to secure the release of the
chief justice of the Buenos Aires provincial
supreme court.
Additional attacks against US citizens
would further complicate US-Argentine rela-
tions. Diplomatic personnel within thc embassy
have already been reduced from .-..iound 200 to
90, and no one is currently :Assigned outside of
Buenos Aires.
