South Africa - Angola - Zambia
According to the US defense attache in Pretoria,
South African forces continued their attacks begun on
6 March through Sunday and struck a total of at least
12 camps in Angola and Zambia used by guerrillas of the
South-West Africa People's Organization. A South
African military spokesman said that all of the camps--
eight in Angola and four in Zambia--were located within
50 kilometers of the border. The raids consisted pri-
marily of air attacks, although some heliborne ground
troops also participated. Both South African and Angolan
authorities say few guerrillas were killed. The South
Africans, however, probably destroyed a number of forward
staging bases used for infiltration into Namibia and cap-
tured weapons and documents. 25X1
