At every whistle-stop along the way he told his Palestinian followers that dissension within P.L.O. ranks was being fomented by Libyan Leader Muammar Gaddafi and "some other Arab regimes."

The government of President Joao Baptista Figueiredo announced that it had seized four Libyan transport aircraft loaded with a reported 200 tons of illicit arms and explosives. The destination of the clandestine shipment: the Nicaraguan capital of Managua. For the U.S., the discovery constituted welcome proof that leftist Central American insurgencies are being abetted from outside the hemisphere.
