In open defiance of Washington policy, twenty U.S. veterans will leave for Cuba on 8 November for a week-long trip. The trip is organized by the San Francisco-based "Freedom to Travel Campaign". Decorated veterans of the Vietnam war, the Korean war, World War II and other conflicts will participate and want to "get to know Cuba through firsthand experience". The veterans, who will visit the Bay of Pigs, face possible prison terms to up to ten years and up to $250,000 in fines for making such a trip which is considered "trading with the enemy" by the U.S. government. HAITI - Cleaning Out the Stables ... and a Few Archives. In early October 1994, U.S. military forces pulled off a nice psychological operation by raiding the headquarters of the notorious Front pour l'Avancement et le Progres de l'Haiti (FRAPH), handcuffing and leading away its members, and, tangentially, carrying away 60,000 pages of FRAPH archives detailing relations with the CIA and the Pentagon. Under Freedom of Information Act, the Pentagon admitted last month that it has the documents which are now classified. Several Haitian MPs want the documents returned and are now campaigning to get the government to formally demand their return to the country. SALVADOR - UN Report on "Irregular Groups" in the Police. Following the 1992 peace accords between the ARENA government and the FMLN, the three military-run police forces -- Policia Nacional (PN), Policia de Hacienda and Guardia Nacional -- were dissolved. The Policia Nacional Civil (PNC) was then created. Twenty percent of the personnel is made up of former PN, 20 percent FMLN guerrilla forces and 60 percent new recruits (INT, N. 24/16 & 31). Nonetheless, critics on the left say the PNC is being "militarized" and several know human-rights violators have been found in its ranks and dismissed. Now the United Nations Mission to El Salvador (MINUSAL) has issued a report stating that former members of the Executive Anti-narcotics Unit (UEA), the PN Anticrime Battalion and the Commission on Criminal Acts are interfering with the development and activities of the PNC. The MINUSAL recommends the immediate elimination of these groups and the creation of a Public Safety Council. People: MEXICO - Armando Pavon Reyes.31 Former commander of the Federal Judicial Police in Guadalajara, Armando Pavon Reyes, was arrested on 17 October in Milan in a massive dragnet operation. The U.S. wants Reyes for the 1985 murder of DEA agent, Enrique Camarena Salazar, and received a tip that Reyes was among Latin Americans in Milan. This resulted in the roundup of 18 Latin Americans, including Reyes who first tried to flee and then gave a false identity before being identified by Interpol fingerprints and photographs. COLOMBIA - Luis Bernardo Urbina. The head of Military Intelligence, General Luis Bernardo Urbina, along with his deputy, Colonel Gustavo Castro, is being held responsible for the eavesdropping on U.S. DEA telephone conversations, leaking them to parliament and causing a major scandal (INT, N. 24/32). Despite the fact that the eavesdropping reinforces President Ernesto Samper's contention that the U.S. is meddling in Colombian affairs -- and investigating Samper's campaign financing by cocaine cartels -- he nonetheless had to fire both Gen. Urbina and Col. Castro recently. HONDURAS - Julio Fonseca. With an official campaign to investigate "disappearances" during the 1980s in full swing, Julio Fonseca, former National Investigations Directorate (DNI) officer, has demanded official protection. Although he says he knows nothing about the "disappearances", he says the army thinks he does and wants him dead. Very few "disappeared" persons survived to tell about it and justice is hard pressed for concrete information. The army is just as hard pressed to make sure no such information surfaces. Indeed, six persons with links to military intelligence, and who may have been witnesses in the disappearances, were recently killed under mysterious circumstances. * Also in this Issue: N. 25, 6 November 1995 Frontpage: PAKISTAN - COUP ATTEMPT, DRUGS AND ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS p.1 Technology: SPECIAL EQUIPMENT AND TECHNOLOGY AT MILIPOL '95 p.2 INFORMATION WARFARE SPECIAL REPORT p.3 NONLETHAL TECH RESURFACES IN NEW MILITARY DOCTRINE p.4 FLIR - Outlawed for Snooping Policemen. p.5 LASERS - Illegal on the Ground, Not in the Air. p.6 STEALTH - An "Invisible" Follow-On to the C-130. p.7 CODES - French Decision on Publicly Legal Encryption. p.8 NETWORKS - French Air Force's Secure MOBIDIC System. p.9 AIRCRAFT CARRIERS - Eliminating the Waves. p.10 TORTURE - A Lost French Annex. p.11 CULTS - Internet Fights Back at Scientology. p.12 SPACE - Russian "Carbon Copy" Space Shuttle Scrapped. p.13 COMPUTERS - Russia On and Off the "Blacklist". p.14 STEALTH - India Enters the Field. p.15 "INTELLIGENCE" - Restructuring our Web Site. p.16 People: JEFFREY A.
