  • Story Text: The Clubhouse of the fashionable Uruguay Golf Club on the outskirts of Montevideo was reduced to a ruin last Wednesday (22 December), after a dynamite blast followed by fire, thought to have been caused by Leftwing Tupamaros urban guerrillas.

    December 22nd, was the fifth anniversary of the death of the first Tupamaro, Carlos Flores. This new incident could be an isolated one, according to correspondents, and not necessarily part of a new campaign.

    The blast broke a truce maintained by the Tupamaros since September.
