Use of Soviet Weapons by Argentine Terrorists
3.5(c)
\the explosive projectiles used by
unknown terrorist elements in attacks during the week of 17
to 24 June were Soviet-designed "RPG-7" antitank armor-
piercing grenades fired from either an "RPG-7" or an "RPG-7V"
rocket launcher. Authorities believe there were five attacks
In which this weapon was used, including three attacks in June
against government installations. In each instance, the
terrorists fired a missile from the sunroof of a Peugeot
parked about 200 to 300 meters from the target.
The first attack was against the headquarters of the
military factories. The grenade exploded against a pole in
front of the factories and caused little damage. In the
second attack, directed against the Government House (Casa
Rosada , the rocket-powered grenade failed to detonate on
impact

The third attack reportedly took
place at the Argentine Naval Mechanics School.
Not only is this the first known instance of the use of
this weapon by terrorist groups in Argentina, it is also the
first reported use of any Soviet-manufactured weapons by
Argentine terrorists, aside from a few AK-47 rifles occasion-
ally recovered by the authorities.
believe the
Montoneros were responsible for the attacks. They feel that
the weapons may have been obtained from elements of the
Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) as a result of
discussions in 1977 between Mario Firmenich, a Montonero
leader. and PLO leader Yassir Arafat.
