EL SALVADOR: Military Developments
The insurgents destroyed two important government
communications stations serving eastern El Salvador during the past
week.
A guerrilla broadcast says saboteurs destroyed a microwave and
satellite communications complex on San Miguel Volcano in a raid on
Sunday. It claims that 15 of 60 government troops guarding the
station were killed. Long-distance telephone, telex, and television
communications have been disrupted.
Earlier last week insurgents in Morazan Department overran a
government outpost and destroyed a military communications station
at Cerro Cacahautique. Some 40 government soldiers were killed or
captured in that battle. Army reinforcements retook the destroyed
facility on Saturday after heavy fighting
Comment: Strategic communications apparently have become
priority targets for the guerrillas, along with bridges and electric
power facilities. In both recent attacks, the guerrillas have been able
to overwhelm isolated garrisons by delaying reinforcements with
ambushes. Government units continue to be stretched thin trying to
defend economic targets, leaving them vulnerable to surprise attack
by superior forces.
