And not just...
...control their own forces. Many guerrilla commanders consider missionaries part of the country's administrative structure and may make religious groups targets for terror to undermine government control and encourage white flight. One guerrilla commander told TIME: "We've warned the missionaries to leave. If they don't heed our warnings, we can't help it if they get killed...
