EL SALVADOR: Insurgents' Plans
The government's recapture of towns in northern La Union
Department has not deterred guerrilla operations in the east
//The Army claims to have killed 100 guerrillas--
including five foreign commanders--and wounded 150 during
the counteroffensive in La Union. The US defense attache
reports widely scattered insurgent activities continue,
however, and much of the eastern part of the country is
again without electric power.//
Comment: The guerrillas have sustained their mili-
tary actions for two months despite problems in various
units with organization, logistics, and personnel. Al-
though the insurgents generally have attacked isolated
towns, public utilities, roads and bridges, and commercial
and agricultural facilities, they also have had consid-
erable success against military outposts and convoys.
Their claims to have inflicted over 850 government casu-
alties, apparently including 240 prisoners captured along
with more than 560 weapons, appear plausible.
Despite the tactical stalemate, the guerrillas
appear to be replacing enough personnel and receiving
enough supplies to sustain their current level of opera-
tions. They seem committed to a prolonged struggle if
they cannot force the government to negotiate.
