Terrorists
Set Deadline
In Argentina
The Argentine guerrillas who kidnaped
the honorary. US consul in Cordoba are
threatening to kill him unless the gov-
ernment ,shows that four leftist pris-
oners are alive. The guerrillas set a
deadline of 6 pm today.
Last month, another terrorist group
gave President Peron 72 hours to prove
that 16 leftist prisoners were alive and
well. In that case, the threat was to kill
government employees at random.
Photographs of some but not all of the
prisoners were published, and the
terrorists were apparently satisfied.
Federal police officials do not believe
their service is holding any of the
prisoners and two of the men may have
been killed by provincial police in Cor-
doba on September 24.
Yesterday, security forces arrested a
physician who may have been on the ab-
duction team; he might be able to locate
the "peoples' prison" where the consul is
being held.
By periodically demanding that the
government show prisoners, the terrorist
may hope to prevent security forces from
killing them. The Montoneros, the
guerrilla band responsible for the consul's
abduction, are increasingly sensitive to
public opinion and may not kill the consul
if the government can show that at least
one of the prisoners is alive.
