Constitution to be rewritten by junta plans elections in Guatemala
Guatemala's ruling three man junta led by Gen. Efrain Rios Montt said elections will be held this year for a constituent assembly to draft a new constitution, with general elections likely in 1984. The move follows a March coup that toppled the Lucas Garcia regime amid corruption claims and rights abuse probes. Guerrilla violence continues with attacks on power lines and a payroll truck robbery near Santa Cruz. The Guatemalan Workers Party claimed responsibility for a plantation office bombing, as about 300 people are killed monthly in political violence.
