Reds and Leftists Seized in Drastic Venezuelan Move
In Caracas eight Communist and Leftist congressmen were jailed and 15 more sought after a government order stripping parliamentary immunity. President Betancourt’s regime accused them of masterminding bombings and kidnapings by the terror, amid a campaign by the Armed Forces for National Liberation. The drive follows a train ambush that killed five national guardsmen and a string of robberies targeting a Caracas comptroller’s office and a U. S. owned machinery firm. Interior Minister Mancinlia charged the congressmen and the Communist party with sabotage of U.S. and Venezuelan interests and with sheltering terrorists, who have been active for three years to topple Betancourt.
