Argentina
Police Chief's Murder
The killing yesterday of Argentina's
federal police chief Cardozo marked the
fourth attack on a military man by leftist
terrorists in the past week. Two other of-
ficers were killed, and a third drove off his
assailants.
Cardozo was killed by a bomb after he
entered his home; three family members
with him were injured. Although neither
the Montoneros nor the Peoples
Revolutionary Army, the principal
terrorist groups, has yet claimed credit for
the assassination, it was almost certainly
the work of one of these organizations.
Both have been engaged in open warfare
with the military and police for several
years.
The terrorists hope the violence will
provoke such a harsh response from the
security forces that the public will
repudiate the government. There are
"hard-line" officers who have been press-
ing President Videla to abandon his
moderate approach and use stronger
measures against the terrorists. The presi-
dent has resisted thus far, but each ad-
ditional terrorist act gives greater weight
to the ar uments of the "hard-liners."
