CENTRAL AMERICA:
//Almost all major cities in central and eastern El Salvador are
expected to be targets of insurgent attacks on the eve of Sunday's
elections, but the government will likely be able to provide ade-
quate security at most polling places. In Nicaragua the Sandinistas
are stepping up pressure against the Catholic Church,1

The Salvadoran guerrillas are preparing for major
raids on a number of key cities, including Santa Ana, San
Salvador, Chalatenango, Cojutepeque, San Vicente, Zaca-
tecoluca, Usulutan, San Miguel, and San Francisco.
//Meanwhile, the government is sending reinforcements
to contain a guerrilla offensive in Morazan Department.
The insurgents reportedly have publicly declared the re-
gion a "liberated" zone.//
//The insurgents continue to experience problems in
implementing their offensive plans, in part because of re-
cent government military offensives against major base
areas. Although these operations have upset insurgent
timing, some 460 Army and security troops were killed or
wounded over the past month, the highest total since the
beginning of the conflict.//
Comment: //The insurgent attacks are likely to reduce
voter turnout in some areas, but polling places are likely
to be secure. Nevertheless, the military may be sorely
tested in the east, where its forces are stretched thin and
the insurgents are concentrating their efforts. The in-
surgents also declared part of Morazan "liberated" last
August, and their recent annonnrpmpnt will likely once
again prove premature.//
