Rebels Invasion Map Emerges In Paraguay Crisis
Armed rebels seeking to topple President General Alfredo Stroessner reportedly planned a guerrilla campaign inspired by Fidel Castro. Exiled Paraguayans in Argentina numbered in the thousands, with some crossing the Parana River from Brazil and Argentina into southeast Paraguay. Brazilian officials denied invasion from their soil. Argentine informants placed insurgents at Posadas and other points, claiming a stronger force than last December's failed 1,000-strong push. The militants are said to be part of the Fourteenth of May movement aiding the December attempt. Stroessner, 47, alleged the earlier invaders were political delinquents financed by Castro’s government.
