' itis an insoluble problen: tor the palice in the labyrinthian terram : ; of the urban guerrilla, to get someone they can't sec, to repress someone they can’t catch, to close in on someone they can't find. Our experience is that the ideal urban guerrilla is one who operates in his own civ and knows thoroughly its strects, its neighborhoods, its transit problems, and other peculiarities. The guerrilla outsider, who comes to a city whose corners are unfamiliar to him. is a weak spot and if he 1s assigned certain opera- ‘ tions, can endanger them. To avoid grave errors, it is necessary for him to get to know well the layout of the strects. \ Mobility and Speed To insure a mobility and speed that the police cannot match. the urban guerrilla needs the following prerequisites: a} mechanization: b) knowledge of the terrain: c) arupture or suspension of enenvy communications and transport: : d} light arms. - : By carefully carrying through operations that Jast only a few . . moments, and jJeaving the site in mechanized vehicles, the urban “ ; guerrilla beats a rapid retreat, escaping persecution. The urhan guerrilla must know the way in detail and, in this sense. . ' must go through the schedule ahead of time as a training to avoid . ’ entering alleyways that have no exit. or running into traffic jams, or becoming paralyzed by the Transit Department's traffic signals. The police pursue the urban guerrilla blindly without knowing which road he is using for his escape. While the urban guerrilla quickly [lees because he knows the terrain, the police lose the trai] and give up the chase. The urban guerrilla must launch his operations far from the logistics i . base of the police. An initial advantage of this method of opcration : : is that it places us at a reasonable distance from the possibility of persecution, which facilitates the evasion. In addition to this necessary precaution, the urban guerrilla must be concerned with the enemy's communication system. The telephone : is the primary target in preventing the enemy from access to in- formation by knocking out his communication system. Even if he knows about the guerrilla operation. the enemy depends on modern transport for his logistics support, and his vehicles neces- sarily lose time carrying him through the heavy traffic of the large cities, 7 It is clear that the tangled and treacherous traffic is a disadvantage we for the enemy, as it would be for us if we were not ahead of him. If we want to have a safe margin of security and be certain to leave no tracks for the future, we can adopt the following methods: a) purposely intercept the police with other vehicles or by ap- ; parently casual inconveniences and damages; but in this case the vehicles in question should not be legal nor should they have real ‘ None ne are ae a ae RRR EEO preregister a, ge A RR iy mee \ if i 1 ita: BO A le oe neem at Lee = eee
