The captured men, some of whom had Castro-style beards, wore olive-drab uniforms, black-and-red armbands, and called themselves the "People's Guerrilla Army." As in Venezuela's F.A.L.N. terrorist group, the men were between 25 and 35; at least one had been trained in Cuba, another was nicknamed "El Cubano...
...weeks, shouting, spear-waving rebels had threatened Bukavu, the biggest town (pop. 33,500) of the eastern Congo. Government troops clearly had the weapons and the manpower to deal harshly with the marauders; yet each time the army units tried to push down the Ruzizi Valley toward the terrorist headquarters at Uvira, they scattered in fright at the first sight of a rebel band.

The Reds have mined and fired on peasant-loaded buses, ambushed three-wheeled Lambretta motor scooters, which are a favorite peasant means of conveyance, and unmercifully harassed junk families on canals and rivers. Last month the Reds burned...
...lonely stretch of coastline off Las Uvas Key, 100 miles from Havana, a loyal fisherman found a "terrorist" arms cache that included twelve pistols, 15 rifles, ten antipersonnel mines, 58 magnetic bombs, 84 packages of explosives, and assorted detonators, machetes, fuses, knives, a portable radio and other equipment. At least that's what the Cuban radio reported last week, crying that the arms came from "North American espionage agencies...
