Officer's deaths, in crash
may hint m
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador The deaths of El Salvador's
top field commander and three senior of2cers in a helicopter
crash Tuesday are a devastating blow to the government's
morale in the 5-year-old war against leftist guerrillas, military
and diplomatic sources said Wednesday.
The insurgents claimed they had shot down the helicopter
Tuesday near Joateca, about 75 miles east of the capital But an
army spokesman said the crash appeared to have been caused
by mechanical failure.
Among the 14 people who died were CoL Domingo Monter
rosa, 42, credited with most of the military gains obtained since
he took over the Third Brigade the most important com
mand in the country last December. Shortly after Mcnterro
sa's death, Guerrillas attacked police patrols in two parts of the
capital in what military sources said was an indication of the
insurgents' recent tactics of moving the war closer to the cen
ter of the country and away from their northern and eastern
strongholds where the army has become more effective.
Marcos rej
tort faces U.S. attack
WASHINGTON Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos
came under sharp attack in the United States Wednesday after
publication of official reports charging a military conspiracy in
the killing of opposition leader Benigno Aquino.,
A majority report Wednesday by four of five members of the
panel appointed by Marcos to investigate Aquino's murder on
his return home from exile last year implicated Philippine
Armed Forces chief Fabian Ver in the alleged conspiracy.
There was no immediate reaction to the report from Presi
dent Reagan or Democratic challenger Walter Mondale.
Rep. Stephen Solarz, D-N.Y. and head of the House subcom
mittee on Asian a?d Pacific affairs, told Reuters he finds it
Inconceivable that those high up in the Marcos government
did not know about the assassination."
But U.S. State Department spokesman John Hughes said the
reports were "a testimony to the vigor of democratic traditions
in the Philippines and to the Filipino respect for the rule of
law." .. . . "
Port closed for 'importd
cargo
WASHINGTON Nicaragua's government has closed the
port of Bluefields while a Cuban barge offloads large crates
from a Bulgarian ship amid unusually strict security measures,
U.S. intelligence sources said Wednesday.
"Something very unusual is going on there," an intelligence
official told Reuters. The sources said Bluefields on Nicaragua's
Atlantic coast was closed last weekend and is being patrolled
by aircaraft, two minesweepers, several patrol boats and an
attack helicopter.
The sources said the "extraordinary" security measures and
a special group of stevedores called in to offload the crates
from the Bulgarian ship Christo Dotev "suggest this could be an
important cargo." The Christo Dotev had been tracked from
the Black Sea. U.S. intelligence last week was reported keeping
watch on a Black Sea port with a shipment of crated Chechos
lovakian L-39 aircraft in case they were destined for Nicara

sophisticated combat planes from the So veit Union.
