(a) Source Comment: With the advent of winter, guerrilla raids on villages apparently are being conducted primarily in order to secure food and supplies. During the period, there were seven instances in which unopposed guerrillas destroyed homes by fire. The revival of this technique indicates that the guerrillas are attempting to instill fear in the people and force them to co-operate. Similar tactics were used successfully in the past by guerrillas on Cheju Island. (a)
