Rios Montt Dismisses 300 Officers Replacing With Civilians
Guatemala City AP reports President Efrain Rios Montt fired about 300 army officers from top government posts and named civilians to replace them in a bid to appease critics of his rule. The purge followed threats of a coup and a state of alert, with Capt. Mario Antonio Ardon Aguilar noted as the highest ranking officer dismissed amid broader democratic reform promises. The moves come after a March 1982 coup and precede plans for a Constituent Assembly election set for July 29, 1984 and its installation on September 15.
