Cuban Support
for Terrorism
;.
In June 1983 Cuban Vice President Carlos Rafael
Rodriguez acknowledged publicly what other Cuban
leaders, including Fidel Castro, had admitted in the
past�that one of Havana's basic aims is to foster
socialist revolution throughout Latin America. In
formulating policies to attain this goal, Cuba divides
countries of interest into two broad categories:
� "Operational targets," where either conditions are
ripe for revolutionary activity or regimes have
earned Castro's particular antagonism. Here Cuba
encourages terrorist and guerrilla groups to cooper-
ate and foment violence by offering training, arms,
funds, technical support, and advice.
� "Political targets," where regimes are less vulnera-
ble and revolutionary potential is low. There Ha-
vana seeks to improve diplomatic and economic ties
to overcome its isolation, further Castro's Third
World leadership aspirations, and compete with the
United States for hemispheric backing. Even in
those countries, Cuba sometimes supports leftist
terrorist groups.
Consequently, in the last 15 years or so, in almost
every instance of leftist terrorism in South AMCI1Cil a
Cuban hand has been somehow involved. Peru is the
signal exception: the Sendero Luminoso apparently
wants nothing to do with Havana.)

Cuban connections with Argentina's terrorist
groups�the Montoneros and the People's Revolution-
ary Army�date from at least the early 1970s. Ha-
vana provided training, funds, and advice, particularly
after 1974, when President Juan Peron's death led to
a resurgence in terrorist activity. Following the mili-
tary coup in 1976, the Argentine terrorist groups were
crushed, and two Cuban Embassy employees suspect-
ed of aiding guerrillas were apparently killed. These

developments, along with growing Argentine-Cuban
trade ties led Havana to scale back its involvement in
1977, although it has continued to train, fund, and
offer haven to Montoneros who fought in the Nicara-
guan revolution and are operating in Central America
and elsewhere in the hemisphere. The Falklands war
in 1982 produced closer bilateral ties and continued
Cuban restraint in Argentina. After President Alfon-
sin's inauguration last December, Argentina granted
Cuba trade credits worth US $600 million over three
years
