Snatching the Diplomats

O'Mara, Richard | May 4, 1970 issue

add to cart   close window

The terrorism and political kidnapping in Guatemala will not provoke the U.S. President Richard Nixon into sending troops into that country as he is not an interventionist. Guatemala is a special case, not because the people of the U.S. have been abducted and murdered there but because of the frequency with which these terrorist acts occur. West German Chancellor Willy Brandt publicly censured the Guatemalan Government of President Julio Cesar Mendez Montenegro for being unable to protect foreign diplomats.
