He has no shortage of business. Here is a sample of the violence attributed to terrorists in the last two years:*   Since February, 1975, there have been at least seven assassination attempts directed against refugee leaders who were viewed as opponents of the terrorists' tactics. Three men were shot to death. One was killed by a bomb.

Suddenly a small boat raced close to the freighter and raked it with heavy machine- gun fire. No one was injured..*   On April 6, 1976, two Cuban fishing boats were attacked and a fisherman was killed.*   On Sept. 21, 1976, in Washington, D.C., a bomb ex- plodem a car and killed Orlando Letelier, a former Chilean Ambasador to the U.S. under the Marxist regime of the late President Salvador Allende. Although the crime is officially unsolved, there have been persistent reports that the bonb was planted by Cuban terrorists as a "favor" to the secret police of the present anti-Communist Government in. Chile.## NEW TERRORIST STRATEGYLenders of the terrorist bunds are hurd to identify.
