NIGHT'S TERRORIST TARGET WAS THE ANTIOQUTA LIQUEUR PLANT . FOUR
POWERFUL ROCKETS WERE GOING TO EXPLODE VERY CLOSE TO THE TANKS WHER E
300,000 GALLONS OF THE SO-CALLED CASTILLE CRUDE, USED TO OPERATE TH E
BOILERS, IS STORED. THE WATCHMEN ON DUTY REPORTED THAT AT 2030 THE Y
SAW A MAN AND A WOMAN LEAVING A SMALL SUITCASE NEAR THE FENCE THA T
SURROUNDS THE PLANT. THE WATCHMEN EXCHANGED FIRE WITH THE TERRORIST S
WHO FLED LEAVING BEHIND THE EXPLOSIVE MATERIAL THAT ALSO INCLUDE D
DYNAMITE AND GRENADE ROCKET LAUNCHERS . METROPOLITAN POLICE PERSONNEL
SPECIALIZING IN EXPLOSIVES, DEFUSED THE ROCKETS . SOME 100 PEOPLE WERE
WORKING INSIDE THE PLANT .
THE DAMAGE THE ROCKETS WOULD HAVE CAUSED HAD THEY BEEN ACTIVATED
CANNOT BE ESTIMATED BECAUSE THE CARIBE SODA FACTORY AND THE GUAYABA L
RESIDENTIAL AREA WOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN AFFECTED .
THE ANTIOQUTA LIQUEUR PLANT HAS RECEIVED THREATS IN THE PAST AND
MAXIMUM SECURITY HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRACTICED IN THE AREA . SECURITY WAS
STEPPED UP LAST NIGHT AFTER THE INCIDENT . THE LIQUEUR INDUSTRY IS TH E
LARGEST FOREIGN EXCHANGE PRODUCER FOR THE DEPARTMENT .

YOUR COMMISSION ASKING US TO BEGIN THE PEACE TALKS . WE HAVE ALREAD Y
ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, EXPRESSING OUR WILLINGNES S
TO HOLD A MEETING . THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSION'S LETTER MAKES NO MENTIO N
OF ANY MOVE TO POSTPONE THE ELECTIONS . IT DOES NOT EVEN CONSIDE R
INCLUDING THIS TOPIC ON THE MEETING'S AGENDA . ON THE CONTRARY, IT IS
CLEAR THAT THE COMMISSION HAS ALREADY DECIDED TO HOLD THE ELECTIONS O N
19 MARCH .
CONSEQUENTLY, THE FARABUNDO MARTI NATIONAL LIBERATION FRONT [FMLN ]
HEREBY INFORMS THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSION AND THE SALVADORAN PEOPLE O F
THE FOLLOWING :
1.THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSION MUST CLEARLY AND PUBLICLY ANNOUNC E
THAT IT IS WILLING TO REACH AN AGREEMENT ON CONFINING THE ARMY TO IT S
BARRACKS ON THE DAY OF THE ELECTIONS, ESTABLISHING AN ELECTORAL CODE
BY CONSENSUS, PROVIDING ABSENTEE VOTING FOR SALVADORANS LIVING ABROAD,
RESTRUCTURING THE CENTRAL ELECTIONS COUNCIL, AND FORMING A COUNCIL FO R
VERIFICATION .
MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT MUST EXPRESS THE STATE POWERS' WILLINGNESS TO
POSTPONE THE ELECTIONS FOR 5 MONTHS, ONCE A CEASE-FIRE HAS BEEN AGREE D
UPON. WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSION MUST PUBLICLY
ANNOUNCE THAT IT IS WILLING TO BRING MILITARY COMMANDERS AND OFFICER S
RESPONSIBLE FOR POLITICAL MURDERS AND CRIMES TO TRIAL, TO REDUCE TH E
SALVADORAN ARMED FORCES TO THE NUMBER OF TROOPS IT HAD IN 1968, AND T O
DISBAND THE SECURITY FORCES TO FORM A NEW CIVIL POLICE . WE REITERATE
OUR WILLINGNESS TO DISCUSS PERMANENTLY CEASING THE ARMED STRUGGLE .
2. IF THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSION AGREES TO THE ABOVE REQUESTS, TH E
FMLN WILL AGREE TO A MEETING AND IS WILLING TO IMMEDIATELY DECIDE ON A

DATE AND A TIME FOR THE MEETING . THE FMLN IS EVEN WILLING TO HOLD THE
MEETING OUTSIDE EL SALVADOR . AS A PART OF THIS MEETING, WE ARE WILLIN G
TO NEGOTIATE AND COME TO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE ARMED FORCES STAFF ON A
CEASE-FIRE THAT WILL BRING ABOUT A PERMANENT AND NEGOTIATED SOLUTIO N
TO THE CONFLICT.
3. IF NO SUCH AGREEMENT IS REACHED, THEN THERE IS NO POINT I N
HOLDING THE MEETING PRIOR TO 19 MARCH, BECAUSE IT WILL SIMPLY BE USED
BY BOTH THE CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY [PDC] AND THE NATIONALIS T
REPUBLICAN ALLIANCE [ARENA] IN THEIR ELECTION DISPUTE . THE ELECTIONS
PLAY NO ROLE IN ACHIEVING PEACE ; THEY ONLY SERVE TO PROVIDE A FALSE
JUSTIFICATION FOR CONTINUING THE WAR .
4. WE AWAIT A RESPONSE FROM THE GOVERNMENT COMMISSION .
