A special emergency medical unit, complete with ambulance, was created by security authorities just to deal with this problem. (See the issue of 25 May.) Recently, however, several subversives faced with arrest have taken cyanide capsules made of glass. When these capsules are chewed there is sufficient cutting within the mouth for cyanide to enter the blood stream. Death is assured. mew( Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 3.5(c) 5 NR NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 002596560 Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 002596560 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 002596560 Dec Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 002596560 NR NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 NR Approved for Release: 2018/10/02 CO2596560 ECE 7 December 1977 Date: Place: 2 December 1977 Argentina, Buenos Aires 3.5(c) Chrysler Executive's Bodyguards Attacked According to a Reuter report, the bodyguards of a Chrysler Corporation executive were the victims of an armed attack in a suburb of Buenos Aires. - The car used by the �guards was sprayed with machine-gun fire from two other cars.
