50 Arrested for Plotting to Kill Peron in Argentina T: 50 Arrested for Plotting to Kill Peron
Argentine government charges that Catholic nationalists and opposition figures plotted to shoot President Juan Peron, prompting widespread arrests—reports say 50 to 200 jailed—amid anti-government protests in Buenos Aires and Cordoba. Police used tear gas and hoses to disperse demonstrators near the Metropolitan Cathedral, with unrest tied to the purge against opposition parties and the ongoing pacification campaign. The plot allegedly involved plans to shoot Peron from a rented apartment along his regular route and to strike at power and communications networks, implicating Maj. Gen. Francisco Lucero and other top military officials.
