PROBABLE TERRORIST TRAINING
GORGORA TRAINING FACILITY, ETHIOPIA
NPIC/PEG (11/82)
1. (SWN) SIGNIFICANCE: THIS FACILITY HAS BEEN REOCCUPIED AND
TRAINING MAY BE IN PROGRESS.
2. (SWN) REMARKS: PROBABLE TERRORIST TRAINING MAY BE IN PROGRESS
AND 96 TWO-MAN TENTS AND SIX SQUAD 25X1
TENTS ARE PRESENT. TWO CARGO TRUCKS ARE ON THE ROAD WITHIN THE
FACILITY. TRAINING WAS LAST OBSERVED HERE WHEN 25X1
60 TWO-MAN TENTS AND THREE SQUAD TENTS WERE PRESENT.
(SWN) GORGORA, ON THE NORTHERN SHORE OF LAKE TANA, IS 73 NM
SOUTHEAST OF THE ETHIOPIA-SUDAN BORDER AND IS A KNOWN TERRORIST
TRAINING CAMP UNDER LIBYAN DIRECTION. PERMANENT FACILITIES
INCLUDE A SOVIET-STYLE OBSTACLE COURSE, SIX SMALL BUILDINGS,
AND SEVERAL PHYSICAL TRAINING AREAS. THE INSTALLATION
REPORTEDLY SUPPORTS SMALL ARMS, EXPLOSIVES AND MARINE
TRAINING. THE CLOSENESS OF THE CAMP TO THE ETHIOPIA-SUDAN
BORDER SUGGESTS THAT PERSONNEL OCCUPYING THE FACILITY MAY BE
SUDANESE DISSIDENTS.
