EL SALVADOR: Fighting in the North
The government offensive continues in northern Morazan Depart-
ment, while the insurgents try to exploit political divisions in
San Salvador.
//The Army has crossed the Torola River and retaken
few small towns in northern Morazan.
Insurgent propaganda is claiming most of the north-
east is "liberated territory." The guerrillas are call-
ing on government troops to turn their weapons against
a "corrupt and divided" officer corps. The insurgents
also have increased harassment attacks on towns, military
outposts, and economic targets.
Comment: The Army hopes to retake other towns in
northern Morazan and deny the insurgents any military and
political momentum that might result from their current
offensive. The operation is likely to meet heavy resist-
ance, however, and its results may be limited. Despite
their harassing attacks, the insurgents are still not in
a position to exploit fully the political situation to
their own advantage.
