It has placed the entire country under martial law and im- posed a night curfew. The capital has been sealed off, and all plane flights have been halted. Orders have been issued for the arrest of suspected terror- ists and prominent leftists( The kidnaping will give further impetus to the crackdown that the government has already undertaken against its opponents since Velasco assumed dictatorial powers , in June. The President probably believes that a strong stand will rally military support behind him and give him a free hand to deal with the small subversive groups in the country as well as with his Legitimate political opponents.
