ON 17 SEPTEMBER 1980 IN PARAGUAY, FORMER NICARAGUAN
PRESIDENT ANASTASIO SOMOZA DEBAYLE, HIS DRIVER, AND A
FINANCIAL ADVISER WERE ASSASSINATED, WHEN SOMOZA'S CAR
WAS AMBUSHED WHILE THEY WERE EN ROUTE TO A BANK IN ASUNCION,
PARAGUAY. SOMOZA HAD BEEN LIVING IN EXILE IN PARAGUAY SINCE
HE WAS FORCED OUT OF NICARAGUA ON 17 JULY 1979. SOMOZA'S
CAR WAS HIT BY A PROJECTILE FROM A ROCKET LAUNCHER, WHICH
BLEW OFF THE ROOF AND KILLED ANY OCCUPANT NOT ALREADY DEAD
AT A RESULT OF THE AUTOMATIC WEAPONS FIRE WHICH PRECEDED THE
ROCKET ATTACK. (U)
THE AMBUSH APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY PLANNED, AND
IT WAS CARRIED OUT WITH PRECISE TIMING. ACCORDING TO THE
PARAGUAYAN POLICE THE MEMBERS OF THE HIT TEAM WERE ARGENTINES.
THE LEADER ALLEGEDLY WAS HUGO ALFREDO YRURZUN, ALIAS "CAPTAIN
SANTIAGO", A FORMER MEMBER OF THE PEOPLE'S REVOLUTIONARY
ARMY (ERP) IN ARGENTINA. YRURZUN IS REPORTED TO HAVE FOUGHT
WITH THE SANDINIST GUERRILLAS IN THE WAR THAT OUSTED SOMOZA.
HE ARRIVED IN PARAGUAY ON 16 JULY USING AN URUGUAYAN PASSPORT.
IN MID-AUGUST SILVIA MERCEDES RODGERS (NAME HAS LEEN REPORTED
AS HODGERS) A COMRADE OF YRURZUN IN THE ERP, ENTERED PARAGUAY
FROM BRAZIL, ALSO ON A FALSE PASSPORT. SHE RENTED A HOUSE
ON AVENIDA ESPANA, HALF A MILE FROM THE HOUSE SOMOZA WAS
RENTING IN TOWN, BUT CONTINUED TO STAY IN A DOWNTOWN HOTEL.
THE HOUSE REMAINED EMPTY. IN EARLY SEPTEMBER A BLUE PICKUP
TRUCK, WHICH WAS TO BE USED IN THE AMBUSH, WAS STOLEN IN
DOWNTOWN ASUNCION. SOMOZA MEANWHILE WAS MOVING CONSPICUOUSLY
ABOUT TOWN IN HIS USUAL STYLE. ALTHOUGH HE HAD BEEN WARNED
BY PARAGUAYAN OFFICIALS A YEAR AGO ABOUT A POSSIBLE ASSAS-
SINATION ATTEMPT, HE REFUSED TO ALTER HIS LIFE STYLE.
SOMOZA WAS PLANNING TO LEAVE FOR HIS RANCH IN REMOTE NORTH-
WEST PARAGUAY ON 18 SEPTEMBER. HIS FINANCIAL ADVISER, AN
ITALIAN-BORN U.S. CITIZEN WHO LIVED IN BOGOTA, COLOMBIA, HAD
ARRIVED ON 16 SEPTEMBER FOR A 12-HOUR STAY, AND SOMOZA WAS
TAKING HIM TO MEET AN ASUNCION BANKER WHEN THEY WERE KILLED.
A CHRONOLOGY OF THE INCIDENT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED FROM
INTERVIEWS WITH WITNESSES. AT 10:05 THE SOMOZA LIMOUSINE
ROLLED OUT THROUGH THE GATES OF HIS MANSION AND HEADED ALONG
AVENIDA ESPANA. THE FOUR PARAGUAYAN POLICE ASSIGNED TO
GUARD HIM FOLLOWED IN ANOTHER VEHICLE ABOUT HALF A BLOCK
BEHIND. AT THE SAME HOUR TWO OR THREE ARMED MEN RAN OUT OF
THE HOUSE RENTED BY MISS RODGERS AT THE CORNER OF AVENIDA
ESPANA AND AVENIDA AMERICA. THEY DETOURED TRAFFIC FROM THE
INTERSECTION AND ORDERED THE NEIGHBORS INTO THEIR HOMES,
SHOUTING THE WARNING THAT THERE WAS GOING TO BE TROUBLE AT
THE SPOT. (U)
AT 10:08 THE STOLEN BLUE PICKUP TRUCK, WITH CHANGED
LICENSE PLATES, WHICH HAD BEEN WAITING ON AVENIDA ESPANA A
BLOCK FROM THE INTERSECTION, RACED ALONGSIDE THE LIMOUSINE
AND CUT IN FRONT, FORCING SOMOZA'S DRIVER TO STOP. AT LEAST
TWO OR THREE KHAKI-CLAD MEN GOT OUT OF THE PICKUP, ACCORDING
TO WITNESSES, WHILE TWO OR THREE OTHERS EMERGED FROM THE
RENTED HOUSE DIRECTLY OPPOSITE. FROM BOTH SIDES THEY FIRED
AUTOMATIC WEAPONS INTO THE MERCEDES AND AT THE POLICE CAR
BEHIND. A MAN IN THE DOORWAY OF THE HOUSE FIRED AT LEAST
ONE PROJECTILE FROM THE ROCKET-LAUNCHER. THE CAR ROLLED

CHAUFFEUR LAY IN THE STREET, THE OTHER TWO BODIES IN THE
CAR. AT 10:10, AFTER EXCHANGING FIRE WITH THE POLICE GUARDS,
FIVE OR SIX OF THE ATTACKERS SPED AWAY IN THE PICKUP. AT
10:12 THE ASSASSINS STOPPED THEIR TRUCK A BLOCK AWAY AND
COMMANDEERED A PASSING CAR DRIVEN BY AN ARCHITECT, THREAT-
ENING HIM WITH THEIR MACHINEGUNS. POLICE OFFICIALS ARRIVED
AT 10:40. PARAGUAY'S BORDERS WERE ORDERED SEALED, THE
AIRPORT WAS CLOSED, AND A NATIONWIDE SEARCH BEGAN. ON THE
NIGHT OF 18 SEPTEMBER THE POLICE RAIDED THE HOUSE WHERE
YRURZUN WAS LIVING IN ASUNCION. HE WAS KILLED WHILE
ATTEMPTING TO ESCAPE OVER A GARDEN WALL. (U)
TWO NICARAGUAN DIPLOMATS WHO ARRIVED IN ASUNCION IN
JULY 1980 AND WERE DECLARED PERSONA NON GRATA IN MID-AUGUST
BECAUSE "THEY DID NOT PERFORM THEIR DUTIES" ARE SUSPECTED
OF BEING LINKED TO THE PREPARATION OF THE CRIME. THE CHIEF
OF PARAGUAY'S INVESTIGATING TEAM HAS DECLARED THAT THE
MACHINEGUNS AND THE ROCKET LAUNCHER USED IN THE MURDER CAME
FROM NICARAGUA. HE HAS NOT OFFERED FURTHER INFORMATION ON

ON 19 FEBRUARY 1981, IN LEBANON, THE GREEK CATHOLIC PATRIARCH
OF ANTIOCH AND THE ORIENT, MAXIMOS V. HAKIN, SURVIVED AN APPARENT
ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT. THE PATRIARCH AND HIS PARTY WERE PROCEEDING
VIA AUTOMOBILE TO DAMASCUS WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE OVERTOOK THEM
AND THE ASSAILANTS OPENED FIRE WITH SUBMACHINEGUNS. THE PATRIARCH
SUFFERED ONLY A SUPERFICIAL FACE WOUND, AND ALTHOUGH THE CAR WAS
REPORTEDLY RIDDLED WITH BULLET HOLES, THERE WERE NO OTHER CASUALTIES.
ACCORDING TO PRESS REPORTS, THE ATTACKERS UTILIZED A RED MERCEDES
AND HAD WAITED NEAR AN ARAB DEFENSE FORCE CHECKPOINT FOR ABOUT AN
HOUR BEFORE THE PATRIARCH'S VEHICLE ARRIVED. (U)
IN CALLS TO LOCAL NEWSPAPERS, A GROUP CALLING ITSELF "THE
FRONT FOR THE LIBERATION OF LEBANON FROM FOREIGNERS" CLAIMED CREDIT
FOR THE INCIDENT. THE GROUP STATED IT HAD NOT TRIED TO KILL THE
PATRIARCH BUT THAT THE ATTACK WAS A WARNING TO LEADERS AND OFFICIALS
THAT "THEY SHOULD SAY ABROAD WHAT THEY SAY AT HOME." IN ADDITION
TO CLAIMING CREDIT FOR THE BOMBING OF SEVERAL CARS IN PALESTINIAN
AREAS OF BEIRUT IN LATE 1980, THE GROUP ALSO CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THE 27 AUGUST 1980 AMBUSH OF US AMBASSADOR JOHN GUNTHER DEAN'S
MOTORCADE. (U)
IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT IN THE ATTACK AGAINST
AMBASSADOR DEAN, THE ASSAILANTS UTILIZED A "MAROON' MERCEDES.
THIS GROUP EITHER HAS A PENCHANT FOR RED MERCEDES VEHICLES OR IS
DELIBERATELY UTILIZING SUCH CARS AS ITS CALLING CARD. (S)

ON 17 DECEMBER 1980, IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, TWO GUNMEN
ON A MOTORCYCLE ASSASSINATED TURKISH GENERAL
CONSUL SARIK ARIYAK AND'HIS BODYGUARD. DRESSED IN COVERALLS AND HELMETS,
THE ASSASSINS FIRED AUTOMATIC PISTOLS THROUGH THE WINDOWS OF THE CAR, HITTING
EACH VICTIM SEVERAL TIMES. (U)
EARLY REPORTS INDICATE THAT WITHIN AN HOUR OF THE SHOOTINGS A WOMAN
"WITH A FOREIGN ACCENT" CALLED THE AUSTRALIAN ASSOCIATED PRESS AND CLAIMED
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACT ON BEHALF OF THE JUSTICE COMMANDOS OF THE ARMENIAN
GENOCIDE. THE CALLER ADDED THAT THE GROUP'S REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT STARTED
IN 1975 WITH ACTS BY COMMANDOS IN VIENNA, ROME, MADRID, PARIS AND THE
VATICAN IN RETALIATION FOR INJUSTICES TO ARMENIANS BY TURKS IN 1915. THE
CALLER EMPHASIZED THAT HER GROUP "HAS NO CONNECTIONS WITH THE SO-CALLED
ARMENIAN SECRET ARMY" AND THAT THE GROUP'S ATTACKS ARE AIMED AT TURKISH
DIPLOMATS AND TURKISH INSTITUTIONS. (U)
THE OTHER ARMENIAN ATTACK WAS ATTEMPTED IN LONDON BY THE "OCTOBER
THIRD" GROUP. IN PICCADILLY, ABOUT MIDNIGHT, BETWEEN 15 AND 1E DECEMBER,
POLICE DEFUSED WITHOUT INJURY TWO SMALL BOMBS (REPORTED TO CONTAIN 500 AND
600 GRAMS OF SEMTEX) OUTSIDE A BUILDING SHARED BY THE FRENCH TOURIST AND
FRENCH RAILWAY OFFICES. THE POLICE HAD BEEN ALERTED AFTER TELEPHONE CALLS
BY TWO SEPARATE CALLERS TO REUTERS AND THE UPI. BOTH CALLERS WERE UNDER
THE IMPRESSION THAT THE BOMBS HAD ALREADY EXPLODED. THE CALL TO REUTERS WAS
MADE BY A MAN WITH AN '.'APPARENT FRENCH ACCENT" WHO ANNOUNCED: "WE ARE
THE OCTOBER THIRD. WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF FRENCH TOURISM
AND FRENCH RAILWAY. THIS IS A WARNING TO THE FRENCH FASCISM AGAINST HER
ATTITUDE INVESTIGATING OUR COMRADES IN GENEVA. THANK YOU." HE THEN READ
A STATEMEENT IDENTICAL TO ONE READ BY THE OTHER CALLER. ASKED ABOUT
"OCTOBER THIRD", HE SAID THAT IT WAS "A MILITARY ORGANIZATION AND YOU WILL
HEAR A LOT MORE FROM US". (U)
THE OCTOBER THIRD GROUP HAS CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY FOR A SERIES OF
BOMBING ATTACKS, CHIEFLY IN LONDON, PARIS, ROME AND GENEVA.
BY FAR THE GREATEST NUMBER OF THESE HAVE BEEN DIRECTED
AGAINST SWISS INSTALLATIONS BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE SWISS HAVE SINCE
3 OCTOBER BEEN HOLDING IN INVESTIGATIVE CUSTODY TWO ARMENIAN TERRORIST
SUSPECTS WHO, IN A GENEVA HOTEL ROOM, WERE PREPARING CIGARETTE PACKAGE
BOMBS WHEN ONE OF THESE PREMATURELY EXPLODED. THE CASE HAS DURING THE LAST
FEW WEEKS BEEN GIVEN WIDE COVERAGE IN THE SWISS PRESS AND IN THE U.S. ARMENIAN
PRESS, WITH VARYING DEGREES OF ACCURACY. (U)
IT IS QUITE LIKELY THAT THE "OCTOBER THIRD" GROUP WILL CONTINUE TO
ATTACK SWISS TARGETS, FRENCH TARGETS AND TARGETS OF ALL NATIONALITIES,
INCLUDING THE U.S., WHICH THE GROUP JUDGES TO BE INVOLVED IN ANY KIND OF
INVESTIGATION OF THE ARMENIAN SECRET ARMY FOR THE LIBERATION OF ARMENIAN
(ASALA) OR ANY OTHER ARMENIAN TERRORIST GROUP. ONE OF THE PRISONERS IN
SWITZERLAND IS A U.S. CITIZEN, THE OTHER A LEBANESE. (U)
IN ADDITION, REGARDLESS OF ORGANIZATIONAL DISTINCTIONS SUCH AS THE
ONE JUST MADE IN AUSTRALIA, ARMENIAN TERRORISTS ARE LIKELY TO ATTEMPT
ANOTHER ASSASSINATION OF .A TURKISH DIPLOMAT OR MEMBER OF HIS FAMILY, AS
SUCH ATTACKS IN THE PAST HAVE FREQUENTLY BEEN STAGED IN CLUSTERS. (U)

ARMENIAN TERRORISTS FIRED AUTOMATIC WEAPONS AT THE
TURKISH CONSUL GENERAL TO ROTTERDAM AS HE WAS TRAVELING
BY CAR FROM HIS RESIDENCE TO HIS OFFICE. THE DIPLOMAT'S
CAR WAS ARMORED SO HE CAME OUT OF THE ATTACK UNSCATHED.
THE TERRORISTS FARED LESS WELL: ONE WAS SERIOUSLY
WOUNDED AND CAPTURED DURING THE ENSUING SHOOTOUT IN WHICH
THEIR GETAWAY CAR WAS RUN TO BAY BY POLICE. THE OTHER
THREE TERRORISTS ESCAPED ON FOOT AND REMAIN AT LARGE.
SECRET
AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE IN BEIRUT RECEIVED A TELEPHONE
CALL IN WHICH CREDIT FOR THE ATTACK WAS CLAIMED BY THE
"RED ARMENIAN ARMY." THE CALLER ISSUED A WARNING TO
DUTCH AUTHORITIES AGAINST IMPRISONING THE CAPTURED
TERRORIST ONE PENYAMIN EVINGULU, A 22-YEAR-OLD TURKISH
NATIONAL WHO RELOCATED TO LEBANON ON 1966. HE WAS NOT
PREVIOUSLY KNOWN.
THE "RED ARMENIAN ARMY" HAS NOT BEEN HEARD OF BEFORE.
IF IT IS CONNECTED WITH EITHER OF THE TWO KNOWN ARMENIAN
TERRORIST GROUPS--THE ARMENIAN SECRET ARMY FOR THE
LIBERATION OF ARMENIA (ASALA) OR THE JUSTICE COMMANDOS
OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE (JCAG)--WHICH IS LIKELY, "RED"
WOULD ALIGN IT CLOSER TO THE MARXIST-LENINIST ASALA
RATHER THAN THE ANTI-COMMUNIST JCAG. SIMILARLY, THE
THREAT AGAINST IMPRISONING THE CAPTURED TERRORIST SOUNDS
MORE LIKE ASALA THAN JCAG, AS ASALA CHARACTERISTICALLY HAS
RETALIATED AGAINST COUNTRIES WHICH IMPRISON ITS MEMBERS
WHILE JCAG HAS NOT.
