El Salvador battles guerrillas near capital as fighting widens
Government troops clash with about 25 leftist guerrillas who overturned cars and blocked a highway near Apopa nine miles from San Salvador. Military sources report battles ongoing with no immediate casualties and say bases in San Vicente province have been attacked as part of a broader counter insurgency. The United States plans an aid increase as Cuba and other communist states are blamed for directing the insurgency. Public reports cite hundreds of deaths since 1980, with the conflict intensifying in the Chalatenango and San Vicente regions.
