CENTRAL AMERICA:
Almost an major cities in central and eastern El Salvador are
expected to be targets of insurgent attacks on the eve of the elec-
tions tomorrow, but the government will likely be able to provide
to adequate security at most polling places. In Nicaragua the
tf, Sandinistas are stepping up pressure against the Catholic Church,
The Salvadoran guerrillas are preparing for major
raids on a number of key cities, including Santa Ana, San
Salvador, Chalatenango, Cojutepeque, San Vicente, Zaca-
tecoluca, Usulutan, San Miguel, and San Francisco.
Meanwhile, the government is sending reinforcements
to contain a guerrilla Offensive in Morazan Department.
The insurgents reportedly have publicly declared the re-
gion a "liberated" zone.
The insurgents continue to experience problems in
implementing their plans, in part because of recent
,,government military offensives against major base areas.
5 Although these operations have upset insurgent timing,
some 460 Army and security troops were killed or wounded
over the past month, the highest total since the begin-
ning of the conflict.
Comment: The insurgent attacks are likely to reduce
voter turnout in some areas, but polling places are likely
to be secure. Nevertheless, the military may be sorely
tested in the east, where its forces are stretched thin and
the insurgents are concentrating their efforts. The in-
surgents declared part of Morazan "liberated" last August,
and their recent announcement will likely once again
prove premature.
