1/2 ('96) "Peruvian" knifing in Stockholm - who's behind it? 
[Sent: 15.04.96]
Last Monday, 8.4, one person of Peruvian origin was murderously
attacked and stabbed with a knife by another in the Stockholm 
subway, here in Sweden. The victim was brought to hospital for 
intensive care. His wounds were said to be serious though not 
life-threatening. The perpetrator has been arrested for attemp-
ted murder. By the newspapers, which so far have been my only 
source of information about this serious incident, the motive 
was stated to have been "possibly" or "certainly" political. 
Although the facts of this matter are by no means clear, in my 
opinion there are good reasons to suspect that this murder at-
tempt was a desperate provocation stage-managed by such forces 
as the intelligence service SIN of the reactionary regime in Pe-
ru or the CIA of the USA. This not least because there recently 
has started a very important international development in the 
struggle against the Peruvian reactionaries and in the struggle 
against the subverters of the international Marxist-Leninist 
movement: 
In March of this year a call for a World Mobilisation Commission
to support the People's War in Peru was raised by the Sol-Peru 
Committee in London, and this call has already been signed by 
several consistent supporters of this People's War and opponents
of the revisionist subversion and capitulationism, in a number 
of countries. 
Those reactionaries who are backing the Fujimori regime in Peru 
and who since decades back have made every effort to bring the 
adherents of Marx, Lenin and Mao Zedong on to the wrong track 
have every reason to fear this new development. There obviously 
at present are ample motives for them to perpetrate all kinds of
desperate "countermeasures". The comrades in all countries 
should be on guard against this. 
The facts about the Stockholm murder attempt must be brought to 
light as far as possible. It must be demanded that the person or
persons responsible for it be duly punished.
*Details about the assault, according to the newspapers*
What information (with or without quotes) about this assault has
been given by the bourgeois Swedish media?
The attacked man, according to the 10.4 issue of the morning 
paper Dagens Nyheter ("independent liberal"), is 47 years old 
and "has told the police that he has strong ties to the Maoist 
guerilla group Sendero Luminoso" [meaning, the People's Guerilla
Army led by the Communist Party of Peru, PCP, which since 1980 
is waging a people's war against the reactionary regime in Peru] 
"but that he now advocates a peaceful solution to the conflicts 
in Peru. He says that he does not know the younger man who stab-
bed him with a knife in the subway coach. But he has seen him 
and thinks that he belongs to an opposing political faction." 
To the evening paper Aftonbladet, ("social-democrat", a rag long
particularly infamous for its particularly persistent pro-Rus-
sian-new-tsarism and also pro-US-imperialism propaganda), the 
causes behind the assault are "clearer". In its 9.4 issue, it 
had a full page report on it, with a photograph of the stabbed 
man (his face blotted-out) being transported away on a stret-
cher, and the headline: "Guerilla Attack"(!) "in the Subway". In
its report, the Aftonbladet i.a. tells its readers:
"All those involved are immigrants from Peru. They are politi-
cally involved and are sympathizers of the Maoist guerilla Sen-
dero Luminoso. The perpetrator of the assault belongs to a more 
hard-line faction which is against the attempts at negotiating a
peace accord, while the victim and his family sympathizes with 
that part of the movement which supports the peace accord."(!!)
Here the Aftonbladet tells at least one dastardly lie, and prob-
ably one more, as all can tell who have the most rudimentary 
information about the People's War in Peru. There is in fact 
*no* "part of the movement" against the reactionary Fujimori re-
gime which "supports" the "peace agreement", since the entire 
affair of the so-called "call for negotiations and peace" sup-
posedly issued from prison(!) by the PCP chairman comrade Gonza-
lo (Abimael Guzman) and other captured PCP leaders from October
1993 on quite obviously is nothing but a hoax, a propaganda ma-
nouevre by the SIN and the CIA from beginning to end, as was 
clearly pointed out by the Central Committee of the PCP on 
7.10.93. 
It by no means has been a "line" within the movement supporting 
the People's War, as the infamous phoney-"Marxist" subversio-
nists have maintained, but has been compleletly rejected and 
condemned by that movement as a falsification.   
And now the Aftonbladet would have people believe that in Stock-
holm someone who rejects the "peace accord", i.e., who is a ge-
nuine supporter of the People's War in Peru, should have at-
tacked and seriously stabbed a - conscious or decieved - propa-
gandist of this SIN/CIA "peace accord" hoax? 
There would have been no political reason whatsoever for such a 
person to do so. And as far as I know, there has been no earlier
instance of an emigree genuine PCP supporter acting in such a 
counterproductive and in fact counter-revolutionary way as phy-
sically to attack a political opponent (whether he could be
suspected of being an agent or not), in the manner described 
here. 
An unbalanced person acting under some sort of intensive perso-
nal pressure? This perhaps is not impossible but seems very un-
likely as an explanation. An agent provocateur? This is what 
those facts which so far are known to me above all suggest.
On further details, the report in the (of course notoriously un-
reliable) Aftonbladet reads i.a.:
"'It was a planned political assault', says the sister of the 47
years-old man who was severly injured in the attack yesterday. 
She and her husband were witnesses to the sanguinary deed....To-
gether with her family, the woman was taking the subway home 
shortly before half past two yesterday afternoon. When on the 
platform she recognized the perpetrator, who is in his mid-
20:s."
" - He entered the same coach as we and stood very close to us
though the coach was almost empty. The doors had just closed
after the stop at Medborgarplatsen when the assailant suddenly
produced a knife and seized the 47-years-old man. 'He gripped
him from behind and thrust the knife deeply into the chest of my
brother', the woman says. Her husband intervened and managed to 
prevent the perpetrator from stabbing anew....When after a mi-
nute or so the subway train reached the next station, Skanstull,
by chance two policemen were standing at the platform. 
They quickly realized what had happened and were able to arrest 
the perpetrator immediately. He resisted, and the policemen had 
to use their sticks to get him down to the ground. - Even after 
he had been arrested he continued to yell 'I'll kill you, I'll 
kill you!', the woman recounts."
The actions of this assailant, as reported here, indeed do not 
look like those of a politically conscious person but rather 
like those of a hired provocateur who plays out his act in the 
presence of a convenient array of witnesses. Don't they stink of
"setup"?
         *What is the political background?*
Concerning the political conflict with which this assault pre-
sumably has to do, the Aftonbladet continues: "In 1992, the" 
[guerilla] "leader Abimael Guzman was imprisoned. Since then, 
the movement has split into two factions" [here you're lying 
again, ladies and gentlemen pro-Russian-new-tsarist and  -US-
imperialist propagandists] " - Guzman who wants a peace accord" 
[no - this only according to the lies of your friends his cap-
tors, who don't dare let him speak for himself but have brutally
put him into complete isolation] "and the new leaders" [invented
by you or your masters] "who want to continue the war".
Moreover, "Of those around 3,000 Peruvians who reside in Sweden,
some 100 are committed to the cause of the Sendero Luminoso. Two
smaller groups - one in Stockholm and one in Malmoe - belong to 
the more hard-line faction which is against peace" - the oh-so-
"soft-line" Aftonbladet pro-tsarist/imperialist faction of pro-
pagandists for reactionary war against the people would need for
the readers to be somewhat soft in their heads if they're to 
take this account of theirs at face value. 
Despite all bourgeois lies, the just People's War in Peru in
fact has considerable support among the masses in this country,
while the Fujimori regime is supported by only a few.
The Aftonbladet's express mention of Malmoe in this connection 
probably is no coincidence. In this town in Southern Sweden, a 
particularly sharp and consistent political struggle has been 
fought against both the more open and the more camouflaged advo-
cates of capitulation on the international level, while the 
quite open "peace accord" propaganda has had a certain central 
in Stockholm. 
I already have posted some information on this, in #2en/de/es/
se and in #3en of my UNITE! Info posting series, on 28.12.95
and 01.01.96 respectively. It seems appropriate to post some 
more information on this subject here. Among other things, this 
may contribute towards explaining why certain people might have 
had some particular motives for staging a provocation such as 
this murder attempt precisely here in Sweden.
     *Some facts on the struggle against the open and the
     camouflaged capitulationism and the subversion*
Immediately after the capture of comrade Gonzalo in Peru in Sep-
tember 1992, local emergency committees for defending his life 
were formed in Sweden as in other countries. I participated in 
forming the one here in Malmoe on 23.10.92 and also got the op-
portunity of participating in the Founding Conference in Duis-
burg, Germany, in February 1993, of the IEC, the Intenational 
Emergency Committee to Defend the Life of Dr. Abimael Guzman, 
which has mobilized tens of thousands of people in some 40 coun-
tries in a quite important public international defense cam-
paign.
In Duisburg, where I participated as one of the official dele-
gates from Sweden and thus was also appointed member of the 
IEC:s "parliament", its Steering Committee, among other things I
acquired for the first time a copy of the so-called "Declaration
of the RIM" of 1984, an arch-reactionary phoney"Marxist" docu-
ment which vilely attacks the correct political line of Marx,
Lenin and Mao Zedong, thrusting a knife into the back of the
international proletariat, under the camouflage of being "revo-
lutionary", but which, most unfortunately, had been signed also 
by the PCP, whose international prestige some comparatively cle-
ver subversionists, the leaders of the so-called Revolutionary
International Movement (RIM), had thus managed to put to the
grossest misuse during almost a decade already. 
The reason why it wasn't difficult for me to see through the 
phoney character of the "RIM Declaration" was that I had parti-
cipated in the Marxist-Leninist movement since the time when 
chairman Mao was still alive and thus was informed about his 
correct line. In particular, I had during the years 1974-1990 
been in close contact with the German party KPD/ML(NEUE EIN-
HEIT), which for a long time was an eminently correct genuinely
proletarian revolutionary party and, as the only one at least in
Europe, continued to uphold Mao Zedong's correct line in all its
aspects also after the overthrow of socialism in China in 1976-
78. 
In 1990 I had had to criticize that party as, tragically, like-
wise now degenerated and bourgeois. But the earlier experience 
of that very small and internationally little-known party 
(group) - which was never contacted by the creators of the 
"RIM", who certainly had as one of their most important aims to
encircle and suppress precisely this organization in the middle 
of Europe - remained very important and remains so today.
