...Dirty War, Clean Hands (Cork University Press; 472 pages) is subtitled ETA, the GAL and Spanish Democracy. The first initials belong to the group that uses violence to try to force the separation of the Basque region from Spain; the second stand for the Grupos Antiterroristas de Liberación (Antiterrorist Liberation Groups), which set out to fight ETA's fire with fire via shootings, bombings and kidnappings. And Spanish democracy is the victim of both...
What is the opinion about the elections among those who will not be taking part, the members of the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación National (F.M.L.N.)and the Frente Democrático Revolucionario-or, more simply, the guerrillas and their political allies? F.D.R. President Guillermo Ungo, whom I encountered on a flight from Amsterdam to Central America, told me the elections will be meaningless even in the event of a massive turnout. "Voting is obligatory, and the people know that if they don't have a stamp on their identification papers showing they voted, they...
...atrocities of self-appointed death squads. One day last week a right-wing hit squad walked into a San Salvador restaurant at breakfast time and gunned down three young men.

Since 1974 the F.A.L.N. has claimed responsibility for more than 100 bombings in Chicago, Miami, New York City, Washington and Puerto Rico, killing five people and injuring at least 70 others...
...Latin American country that the Communists have tried hardest to subvert is oil-rich Venezuela. With weapons and funds smuggled in from Cuba, the Castroite Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación National (FALN) in the early 1960s terrorized both Caracas and the countryside, murdering policemen, blowing up pipelines, and bombing department stores. Two years ago, the rebels began to lose their momentum and holed up in the hills. Last month a bombing here, a machine-gunning there seemed to signal a return to the old pattern. Last week came a climax of sorts: in separate ambushes, FALN gunmen assassinated...
