...military government of President Galtieri, 55, showed no more signs of bending than the British. On May 25, Galtieri and his fellow junta members, Admiral Jorge Isaac Anaya, 55, and Brigadier General Lami Dozo, 53, took part in a Mass and Te Deum in Buenos Aires' Metropolitan Cathedral that celebrated the 172nd anniversary of Argentina's equivalent of the Declaration of Independence. Said Galtieri afterward: "At this time of patriotism, the sons of our land from the army, navy and air force will be singing the national anthem, even in their trenches." Galtieri publicly rebuffed a conciliatory letter from President...
Exactly 30 minutes later, in the Arab industrial city of Nablus, 35 miles north of Ramallah, Mayor Bassam Shaka'a, 49, said goodbye to his wife Anaya and his son Nidal, 18. Ordinarily, Nidal performed the chore of starting up the engine on his father's battered 1966 Opel, which was parked in the family courtyard, but on this morning the youth was studying for his high school exams.

As the killers ran away, the ambassador...
...funeral of another officer, Argentina's army commander, Lieut. General Leandro Anaya, promised to wage battle with the terrorists "until we have achieved the total extermination of the enemies of the fatherland." While threatening to wipe out the guerrillas, Anaya was careful to stress that the army will do so in support of President Isabel Perdón's constitutional government and not by overthrowing...
Five Down. General Anaya's impassioned denunciation was primarily aimed at left-wing subversives. But in fact, most of last week's killings were carried out by a hitherto obscure right-wing group, the Argentine Anti-Communist Alliance. The A.A.A. recently surfaced as a major terrorist force. Three weeks ago, a letter was sent to Buenos Aires newspapers containing a list of 17 prominent Argentines. Beside five of the names were tiny crosses; those five had already been executed. The remaining twelve, including former President Héctor Campora, ex-Deputy Leonardo Bettanin and former Education Minister Jorge...
