This warfare consists principai-~ ly ox terrorist attacks against the diplomatic missions of the nations which vote in favor of *aising the blockade, or more precisely, the diplomatic missions of those countries in the ‘United States and in other ‘countries where these fascist bands operate, Mexice, Spain, Venezuela and other countries. The plan is vo assassinate the diplomats, ambassadors and foreign ministers of those nations. NEWSMAN: They actually plan to assassinate Latin American . diplomats? | RIVERO: That's right. That strategy was drawn up in the middle of 1973 when the most aggressive elements of the counterrevoluticn began to note positive changes on the part of the Latin American countries in regard to the Cuban Revolution. The fundamentai plan of these elements is to assassinate two specific figures: Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and Foreign Minister Gonzalo Facio of Costa Rica, who as we know nas been the main drive behind the Quito meeting.
