ARGENTINA: LULL IN TERRORISM
Terrorist activity has fallen off in recent
weeks, in large part because of a successful gov-
ernment crackdown. Left-wing revolutionaries are
on the defensive and reportedly are considering
alternative tactics. Despite this slackening in vio-
lence, the continuing warfare between the left
and right remains a serious problem for the Peron
government.
Wide,pread arrests, effective joint operations
by military 9nd police forces, and an apparent
change in the psychological climate are causing
the terrorists io retrench and take stock of their
situation. The People's Revolutionary Army�the
major terrorist group�met recently with several
Trotskyist and radical student organizations to
discuss plans for a political alliance that would
serve as a nucleus for a broader based coalition of
leftist revolutionary parties.

There are other signs that the terr
be digqing in for a protracted seriod.
Although these moves appear to signal a
switch in emphasis from military to political strat-
egy, there is no indication that thfl terrorists in-
tend to abandon completely the campaign of kid-
nap' gs and armed attacks that has become their
trademark. They will probably continue to use
these tactics to raise funds and to demonstrate
their active comm `ment to armed struggle.
The army, meanwhile, has reportedly
learned the location of key guerrilla encampments
in the northwestern province of Tucuman, and
plans are under way for a major sweep of the
area. Tucuman, the birthplace of the People's
Revolutionary Army, has been a base for rural
insurgency and the training of urban terrorist
squads. If security forces can severely cripple the
Tucuman stronghold, they will have moved a long
way toward weakenin the -1 rgani7n-
tion. 3.5(c)
