Peron Homecoming Marred by Airport Shootout in Argentina
Former President Juan D. Peron returned from 18 years in exile to Argentina but a clash between rival Peronist factions at Ezeiza Airport triggered a mass melee. Six killed and many wounded as Campora’s plans to escort Peron were disrupted. The incident led to a government ban on media reports and Peron’s plane diverting to Moron Air Base.
