Throughout the discussions, however, officials from both sides retained significant but friendly differences. The U.S. visitors underscored Washington's conviction that the Marxist-led guerrilla insurgency in El Salvador, which is now in its fourth year, is part of a subversive wave that is covertly backed by the Soviet Union and Cuba as well by Nicaragua. They explained that the U.S.'s increasingly controversial policies in the region, including economic and military support for El Salvador and sponsorship of a covert insurgency against Nicaragua, are a response to that provocation. Secretary of State Shultz, said a senior...
...another murky incident unfolded when the Sandinistas revealed the mysterious suicide in Nicaragua of one of El Salvador's most important guerrilla leaders, Salvador Cayetano Carpio, 63. Cayetano Carpio was the head of the rebel faction known as the Popular Forces of Liberation, the most determinedly Marxist-Leninist of the country's guerrilla organizations. According to the Sandinistas, he took his own life on April 12, after the equally mysterious assassination in Nicaragua a week earlier of his No. 2 guerrilla commander, Melida Anaya Montes, better known as Ana Maria. The Nicaraguans announced the arrest of five other...
...President Reagan, the tiny Caribbean island (pop. 110,000) represents a threat to the national security of the U.S. The President lashed out at Marxist-led Grenada last month before releasing classified satellite photos of a new international airport being built with Cuban aid.

That was after Grenada declared a "national alert," announcing that a U.S. invasion was imminent. But while U.S. ships were supposed to be unloading counterrevolutionaries onto the beaches, the People's Revolutionary Government was still encouraging neighboring Trinidad's yachtsmen to hold their annual regatta there. When the Trinidadians asked, naturally enough, if their boats might not run into the U.S. Marines, they were...
...next most influential is the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Its founder and leader is Dr. George Habash, a staunch Marxist who contends that a Palestinian state can be won only through armed struggle. Backed by Syria and Libya, Habash has clashed repeatedly with Arafat. During the late '60s, some disillusioned Habash supporters set up two splinter groups that are just as radical: the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, headed by Naif Hawatmeh, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, led by Ahmed Jibril. Both also enjoy strong support from Syria...
