Latin America
Terrorism in Latin America usually occurs in the
context of leftist guerrilla insurgencies whose
members see the United States as the major supporter
and manipulator of the governments they seek to
overthrow. The terrorist threat to Americans is
probably highest in Colombia, owing to US support
for the government's actions against narcotics
traffickers and leftist guerrillas. Both the traffickers
and the guerrillas have demonstrated the capability
and the will to strike back with terrorism against US
officials and facilities
The terrorist threat to US personnel and installations
elsewhere in Latin America seems lower, although a
scattering of reports and indications prevent
complacency:

Embassy in Quito in May 1984, indicate the group
plans further attacks including a second bombing at
the Embassy.
� In Chile, terrorist violence is on the upswing. US
commercial facilities have occasionally been
victimized by terrorist bombings.
� In Costa Rica, the leftwing terrorist group La
Familia was surveilling Embassy personnel last
January, as if planning a terrorist operation, but
most members of the group have since been
arrested.
� In Guatemala, the Revolutionary Armed Forces,
which was responsible for anti-American attacks in
1983, reportedly is planning soon to engage in urban
terrorism.
� In Bolivia, the US Ambassador's residence was
bombed last March by elements believed associated
with drug traffickers. According to US officials, a
terrorist car bomb attack against the Embassy
would be difficult to prevent and could have
devastating results.
� In Argentina, rightist frustration prompted threats
against US installations during President Alfonsin's
just concluded visit to Washington 3.5(c)
